We will have fun games and activities for all ages along with a Hayride and our famous Cake Walk! Please come out for a fun evening of Trunk or Treat and Free Hot Dog Supper! If you are interested in participating in our Trunk or Treat contact Lisa Culpepper at lbculpepper@triad.rr.com.

Make sure you have plenty of candy available for the trick-or-treaters that walk by. Thank you for all your support and remember to invite your friends and neighbors to our Trunk or Treat Carnival!
