GNG Trunk or Treat

Gray-New Gloucester Recreation is pleased to host another Trunk or Treat at the New Gloucester Fairgrounds, 106 Bald Hill Road, from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29.

Trunk or Treat is a community-oriented event. Neighbors and businesses volunteer to decorate vehicles in a Halloween theme and hand out candy and other treats to families stopping by. Costumes are encouraged.

Although there is no cost to sign up, participants must register their family for the event at grayme.myrec.com. Register once per family and choose the number of children so organizers can  plan accordingly.

Donations to help purchase candy and prizes are gratefully accepted. Those interested in decorating a trunk or donating candy are asked to reach out to Recreation Director Sarah Rodriguez at recdirector@newgloucester.com or 926-4126, ext. 6.
