The Harrisonville community is invited to the 10th annual
Trunk-or-Treat on the Historic Harrisonville Square on October 29 from 3-5
p.m. Businesses, organizations, and individuals will “sponsor” car
trunks on the square full of Halloween treats and fun. Children of all ages are invited to wear their Halloween
costume and trick-or-treat around the square. The event is free, but non-perishable food donations will be
collected for admission. The donations will be given to the Shepherd’s Staff
Food Pantry. The square will be closed to traffic during the event.
Participants are encouraged to park in the city lots near the library and
enter the square at the corner of Wall and Lexington. The event is being sponsored by the Harrisonville Parks and
Recreation Department and the Harrisonville Rotary Club. Event Expectations 1. Set up begins at 2 p.m. Enter the square at the corner of
Independence & Wall. Spots will be on a first come, first serve basis
(with a few exceptions). 2. If you are doing a game or activity, you are asked that you
choose a spot on the north or west side of the square. 3. Theyd also like to ask that you try to park in every other
spot so that there's a space between each vendor. There will be a limited the
number of trunks on the south side as that tends to be the side that backs
up. 4. You may decorate your trunk and/or wear costumes. Be sure the costumes/decor is
child-appropriate. 5. The event runs from 3-5 p.m. Be sure you have treats for at
least 1,500 kids. Plan to be there until 5:30 p.m. as they want most families
cleared out before vehicles begin moving for everyone’s safety. 6. The TRUNK OR TREAT event is sponsored by the Harrisonville
Rotary Club and Harrisonville Parks & Recreation. The purpose of this
event is to provide children and families with a fun and safe Halloween
experience. The Club appreciates the support from our local businesses and
organizations. It is not a problem to advertise your business or organization
with signs from your vehicle location. However, it is asked that there be no
soliciting or handing out of marketing materials at this event. Questions? Email [email protected] |
