Kids Get Chance to Trick or Treat at Local ... Car Trunks

All ages are welcome to the inaugural Trunk or Treat at Laurel Park in Los Alamitos Friday.

Boo!

Did we scare you? Good, we weren’t trying to.

We were, however, hoping to write a Halloween-related beginning to this story.

Basically locals will fill the trunks of their cars with candy, and kids will walk by– dressed in costume, of course -- and get goodies.

The event will also include a costume contest, games, inflatable rides and a treasure hunt.

There will also be a contest for the best decorated vehicle trunk.

All ages are welcome.

The event is sponsored by the Los Alamitos Senior Club, Costco, Duke & Duchess, Islands restaurant and Vans.
