What a fun night we had with our church and the first Trunk or Treat! It was such a great community outreach. There were 60+ trunks, free popcorn, a huge screen showing Charlie Brown's Halloween movie, bounces for the kids, and a hayride. The trunkers were fed chili and hot dogs before the event started. I heard one head count that 2,000 people came.
Our family partnered with the Ray family to share the decorating of our trunk. Angie and I changed the theme about ten times, sent about eight million text messages, and finally settled on what would be the most affordable with what we already had: Old West with cowboys and Indians. At the last minute they made a teepee; we gathered old quilts, candles, hay, and plaid, and at the end we won First Place complete with gift cards to a steakhouse & movie theater!
It was a blast! And I am tired this morning! Ha!
