It's Trunk-or-Treat time! In order for this year's event to be a success, we need folks to register and plan to park their car in the walk and hand out candy from their trunks. The event will be held from 6:30pm - 8:30pm. Following are a few important details about the event. This year, there are only 75 spots available to participate.
Car Theme and Costume:
There are lots of creative, family-friendly ways that you can decorate your vehicle. We recommend that you pick a theme for your vehicle and costume. The less your car looks like a car, the better. Because so many of our trunk-or-treaters will be preschoolers and toddlers (and we are a church), we ask that participants not use scary items or images like blood, skeletons, bats, witches, monsters, gore, occult symbols, etc.
Following are some suggested themes:
Disney, Pixar, or other kid-friendly movie
Circus
Western
Space or Scifi
Race car
Decade theme: 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, etc.
Bible stories
Sports
Camping
Zoo or Barnyard
Candy:
Please be prepared to hand out individually wrapped candy to approximately 1,500 kids. We recommend you give one piece of candy per child. We will have additional candy available if you run out on the night of the event.
Teal Pumpkin Car:
Some kids have food restrictions and allergies, during our Trunk-or-Treat we will have teal pumpkin signs to post on cars that are distributing non-food treats. The teal pumpkin will alert families of safe treats for their children. Oriental Trading is a great place to purchase items in bulk.
Following are suggestions for those that would like to participate:
Glow sticks
Bracelets or necklaces
Pencils, pens, crayons or markers
Bubbles
Halloween erasers or pencil toppers
Mini Slinkies, whistles, kazoos, or noisemakers
Bouncy balls
Mini notepads
Bookmarks
Stickers
Expect a great fun filled night! More information, will be emailed to you soon!
