The 10th annual Trunk or Treat brought family fun and costumes on Oct. 27th at St. Christopher’s Church in Baldwin.
Originating as a community-oriented alternative to traditional trick-or-treating, particularly in areas where safety concerns about children wandering alone at night were growing, the event typically involves families decorating the trunks of their cars and parking them in a designated area.
Participants then walk from car to car, collecting candy in a controlled, festive environment. The concept began gaining popularity in the 1990s and has since spread across the United States, with many variations including themed decorations and activities.
