TRUNK OR TREAT

Submitted by - Lou Tyler


What is Trunk or Treat?

Quick Answer:

Trunk-or-treating is a version of
trick-or-treating, but instead of children going door to door to collect candy, they go from trunk to trunk of cars that are parked down the street with highly decorated festive trunks to attract kiddos. Some communities have adopted TRUNK-or-treating in place of traditional Trick-or-treating on Halloween. Trunk-or-treating is much like classic trick-or-treating where kids still dress up in costume and ask for candy. However, with trunk-or-treating, issues with walking from house to house or encountering a stranger is diminished because the event is held in a safe place such with parents and guardians present.


This year the City of Kittitas will host Trunk-or-Treat on Saturday, October 31st between 5 and 7 pm in the parking spaces outside City Hall and down the street toward the Time Out Saloon. The goal is to have the street lined with Trunk-or-treats vehicles for three blocks. We are looking for approximately 30 to 60 cars to participate in this year's event, and to make this a real destination event that will attract other communities. The Children can also trick-or-treat the local businesses. Everyone is able to vote for the top three cars that will get the claim to fame recognition.


Please share this with your friends, family, and neighbors. Contact Lou Tyler (509) 760-6003 to let us know if you’re interested in participating in this year's event.
