The event provided a fun Halloween experience for the hundreds of families that attended, and included face-painting, temporary tattoos, and various give-aways for the kids, including their favorite Halloween candy. The kids were able to dress up in their Halloween costumes and "Trunk or Treat" in a fun, yet safe manner.
