Sidney to host third annual “Trunk or Treat”

We’ll also have a DJ set up inside and a big screen with cartoons and movies playing for kids and adults.

Heitsch says kids attending the event are asked not to wear scary costumes, such as witches or ghosts, in order not to frighten young children. During this free community event, free hot dogs and hot chocolate will also be available.

“So much candy”, said fourth grader Daniel Garber. “If you go out and drive around the Northside, I’m seeing all sorts of churches” with signs advertising trunk-or-treat events.

Lenox: 5:30 to 7; parade begins at 6:45 p.m. Friday, October 30, at St. Vincent dePaul Church on Crystal Street and proceed through the village, ending at the fire station on Elm Street, where a party for children will be held. “We just want people to know that Community of Hope is here and that we’re here for the community”, he said.

Sarah Heredia said that she is a Halloween purist, and still prefers trick-or-treating.

“We’re doing a canned food drive for Love INC”.

“We have a lot of fun with it”, Oldham said. Attendees can stroll through the neighborhood in an event sponsored by the Maspeth Federal Savings Bank, where they can also trick-or-treat in the parking lot and receive raffle prizes.

Johnson City’s Tish Oldham said her family sticks with tradition, not only to gather candy from neighbors but to make sure their home is armed and ready to supply trick-or-treaters with candy. Presented by North Boulevard-West Church of Christ, reservations are requested and can be made by calling 615-995-2040 or email info@nbwest.org. “The first 2,000 kids that bring canned goods will receive a special treat which will be a free kids meal at Chili’s”, he said.

The Okland family used it as a dry run for Halloween.

But Sunday’s trunk-or-treat was not only about candy. Keep an eye out for children darting across the street, especially between parked cars. Hundreds of children show up to the event with their parents.
