For those who aren’t all that sure what the first part of “trick or treat” is supposed to mean, the name of an event of increasingly growing popularity makes more sense.
Trunk or Treat was launched last year at Richland Township Community Park, and the tradition continued this season with the second annual event, held on the unseasonably warm, sunny afternoon of Oct. 20.
Basically, people park in a designated area and give away goodies outside of their cars’ seasonally adorned trunks — SUV hatches and pickup truck beds work well, too — to costumed kids as they stroll by.
The parks and recreation departments in the neighboring municipalities of Richland and Pine hosted the 2024 Trunk or Treat, with sponsorship provided by Board and Brush, Harvest Valley Farms, Rich-Mar Rotary Club and the Southern Butler Business Association.
