🎃🚗 NOT MANY TRICK-OR-TREATERS ON YOUR STREET? WE HAVE AN IDEA! 🚗🎃

Do you love handing out Halloween candy but live on a street where the trick-or-treaters rarely make it to your door?

Come join the fun at General Lee Park!

Every Halloween, General Lee Avenue and the streets surrounding General Lee Park are absolutely MOBBED with trick-or-treaters! 👻🍬 If your street is a little quieter, why not bring your Halloween spirit to where the action is?

We’re inviting neighbors to join us for Trunk-or-Treat on Saturday, October 31!

Decorate your trunk, bring some candy, and help make Halloween extra fun for our neighborhood’s little ghosts and goblins. Elaborate decorations are welcome, but definitely not required!

🎃 Red White and Blue BBQ LLC and photo ops begin at 5 PM

👻 Neighborhood parade starts at 5:30 PM

🍬 Trick-or-treating begins at 6 PM

Interested in participating? Comment below or send us a message!

Because nobody should be stuck at home with 200 pieces of candy and only three trick-or-treaters. 💀

Bike, stroller, wagon, golf cart, feet, broom: it all counts! 🧹 Can’t wait to see you at the park on Halloween evening at 5 pm! 🍂👻

Fallen leaves provide essential winter habitat for native pollinators and provide natural mulch for the soil. If you have to clear some leaves, don’t get rid of them entirely: Move them out of sight.
