A trunk-or-treat event was held on Halloween in the Parking lot of the Dollar Tree. The local community showed up with decorated vehicles and costumes, many choosing 80’s horror characters. The cars began lining up around 4:15pm, but it was not until after 5:00 that the majority arrived.
Mary Lou Urak attended the event with three great grandkids and says she helped spread the word on Facebook that it was taking place. “I told everybody get out there and don’t make the children suffer.” She was very happy with the turnout.
Chucky showed up at the trunk-or-treat to hand out candy. Here’s a family of 80’s horror characters with a baby Chucky. Witches and winged creatures were also very popular. This family got really creative with their masks. Costumes widely varied, with some choosing to go with a Christmas theme. The Gordon family trunk used a chute to deliver the candy. Not all decided to go scary. Here is a herd of cows with two Sonic the Hedgehogs. This father and son dressed as characters from the popular video game Minecraft. From the series The Boys, here are Homelander and Starlight with a baby Wonder Woman.
Robert Gordon is new to the High Desert and he showed up to the trunk-or -treat after his wife saw it advertised on the internet. In one of the cleverer decorations, he outfitted his trunk with a chute to hand out candy while maintaining a social distance. His son slid the candy down while dressed in a military uniform. Gordon decided to bring his family to hand out candy because “we had to do something. Where we are its kind of hard to go door to door.” Both he and his son agreed, the 80’s horror costumes were the most popular this year.
