Trunk-or-treat tips
- Check the host's page the day of. Rain plans, start times and registration rules change.
- Arrive early. Candy at popular church and police trunk-or-treats can run out before the posted end time.
- Bring a bag and a flashlight. In late October the sun sets around 6:45 p.m., so evening events get dark fast.
