• Trunk or Treat Planning Meeting

  Wednesday Oct 2, 2019 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM

  Trunk or Treat Planning Meeting - 15 volunteers needed - All are welcome to attend ON Wednesday, October 2nd at Annunciation of the Lord Parish Hall @ 6:00 PM
  
  Let’s have a fun and safe time together as a parish family - We are looking for 30 cars/trucks to gather in the church parking lot on Friday, October 25th to decorate the trunks of their vehicles, and give out candy to the children. Instead of going door to door for candy and treats, the kids go trunk to trunk. As a host of a trunk you can pass out candy, prizes, have games like, bean bag toss, ring toss and so on.
  
  When it comes to decorating your car/truck, you can go the obvious route with pumpkins, spiders, and Halloween decorations or you can do any theme. Remember to plan your costume to go along with your decorated trunk.
  
  Here are some Theme Ideas to help you!
  (Google Trunk or Treat for some great photo ideas too!)
  • Bible Theme (Jonah & the Whale, Noah’s Ark, Daniel in the Lion’s Den, Egyptians, Nativity Scene)
  • Movie Theme or any family friendly movie
  • Board Game Theme (Candy Land, Monopoly, Sorry)
  • Sports Theme (Pick a team or sport)
  • Disney Theme (Favorite Disney character)
  • Pirate Theme
  • Luau Theme
  • Animal Theme (Zoo, Aquarium, Pet Store, Jungle Animals)
  • Era Theme (70s, 80s, 90s)
  • Christmas or other Holiday Theme
  • Popular Toddler Themes (Veggie Tales, Sesame Street, Nursery Rhymes, Dr. Seuss)
