This year for Halloween the Parks and Recreation department for the City of St. Johns organized a Trunk or Treat activity for the community. It was held at the Community Center or for us old folks better known as the BUB. Everyone was assigned a place to park. The idea is to decorate your trunk and have the kids come by trick or treating. My TOHC coalition(Teens Opposed To Harmful Choices) decided that they wanted to have a booth so we took the Tahoe and decorated the back, spent $200 on candy and had a ball. One little girl saw the skeleton and stood frozen, screaming. Her mother had to whisk her away. Oops, didn't mean for that to happen. There was a spook alley in the BUB and fresh, hot donuts, hot chocolate and homemade rootbeer to partake of. We had ball. We were the first to arrive and the last to leave. We had SOOOO much candy to give away. It turned out to be a good thing though because some people came in late and we were still able to give the kids candy. The girls spread the message about making good choices. I love this time of year. I was afraid with the cold weather we had been having that we were going to freeze to death but it was a perfect evening. A huge full moon and just the right amount of cold. I can't believe that Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner. Wow what a year this has been.
