Trunk or Treat Fall Celebration

Trunk or Treat is held near the end of October in the Van Meter UMC Parking Lot from 6-7:30 PM.  (We hold it on a different night than Beggar's Night so the children will have another chance to dress up.)
  • Adults decorate the trunks and hand out treats
  • Kids go from trunk to trunk
  • Everyone enjoys our traditional fresh donuts, cider, and popcorn
  • Play in the inflatables
  • Win silly prizes
  • It's an extra chance to wear your Halloween costume
  • Vote for the best-decorated trunk
  • No admission fee (Donations accepted)
  • Lots of fun!
Registration and volunteer information are made available each October.
