Trunk or Treat

RichmondMommies is hosting our 2nd annual Trunk or Treat event! What is a Trunk or Treat you ask? It is where a group of families get together in a parking lot with their trunks open, decorated for Halloween & ready to hand out treats. Children will trick or treat to each trunk, just like they do from door to door.

Michelle (mlhill0613), Events Manager, and her committee are working diligently to prepare for this event. This event will take place at Deep Run Park, 9900 Ridgefield Parkway, in the parking lot near Shelter #3 on October 25th at 3:00 p.m. Those who are participating should arrive by 3:00 p.m. to decorate trunk. The festivities will begin at 3:15 pm.
