Description: Do you enjoy seeing children in costumes for Halloween? Wish you would get a few trick-or-treaters? This year we will be holding a “Trunk or Treat” on Halloween. Here is how it works: decorate the trunk of your car for Halloween and bring some treats to hand out. The kids will trick or treat at the vehicles, and can enjoy cider and a small snack at the Library before continuing with their festivities. We hope you’ll come out and have some fun with us on Halloween, while providing a safe and enjoyable venue for the little ones this year. We ask that you sign up your vehicle by Tuesday, Oct. 27, and keep your decorations kid-friendly (not too scary!).
