One of the things I have enjoyed most about being an Elk is the opportunity to give back to our community. Our annual Pascagoula Elks Lodge Trunk or Treat is a wonderful example of what we can accomplish when people come together.
It is a night when superheroes come alive, princesses abound, aliens walk among us, and a few Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stop by. Most importantly, it is a night when children and their families can enjoy a safe, welcoming environment filled with laughter, imagination, and fun.
Did you join us for this year’s Trunk or Treat? We’d love to see the fun through your eyes! Share your photos, videos, or favorite memories in the comments below. Thank you for being part of such a special night!
This year, we welcomed an estimated 5,500 people, making this perhaps one of the largest Trunk or Treat events in our area. We could not be prouder of the turnout, the community support, and the many people who helped bring it all together.
An event of this size takes many willing hands. As chairman of the Trunk or Treat Committee, I want to thank our members from Pascagoula Elks Lodge #1120, our fellow Elks from Ocean Springs Elks Lodge #2501, and our community partners, including Perkins Tires, Trent Lott Airport, Krewe of Tri-Cities, and so many others.
There are too many Elks and volunteers to name individually, but please know that every contribution mattered. Whether you decorated a trunk, handed out candy, prepared food, helped families cross safely, set up, cleaned up, or worked behind the scenes, you helped make this event special.
We would like to thank the following for their sponsorship and equipment donations: United Rentals MS Gulf Coast, Portable Services Inc., City of Pascagoula , Bill's Automotive (Pascagoula), Pafford Medical Services and Pascagoula Fire Department.
We hope every family left with happy memories and every volunteer left knowing they made a difference. That is what giving back to our community is all about.
I look forward to our sixth annual Trunk or Treat on Sunday, October 31, 2027. We are already looking forward to making it even bigger and more fun!
Thank you for helping us give our community a night to remember.
