Trunk 'n Treat on Oct.31 from 6-8pm
Christ’s Place Church 1111 Old Cheney Road
Your Halloween can be more than costumes and free candy and you don't have to go from door-to-door to get your bag of goodies! Instead of trick or treating, come to one location and go "trunk or treating". Cars, trucks, boats, trailers and motorcycles will be decorated in fun themes and filled with candy. Plus, there are opportunities to win prizes for great costumes, play carnival games and eat good food inside. It's a free and safe, family friendly event!
