The Trunk or Treat Halloween Spooktacular was a great time for adults and kids. There was a long line to wait in until we hit the main road with about 30 cars on it. The cars were pulled in with the trunk opened, full of decorations, and full of candy. The participants were in full costume with Star Wars, Freddy Vs Jason, Marvel, and a variety of other themes for the kids to enjoy. We arrived at about 5:15 and were in line for about 25 minutes or so. The kids were stoked with the pile of sugar they received and couldn’t even wait until after the bounce houses to shove it in their face.
There was an area by the 3 different bounce houses that were setup for kids games. Shopping carts full of candy were escorted around asking if anyone wanted any. Families were there participating in the candy donations and amusing costumes. The event was completely free with candy, a high school band playing worship music inside, cotton candy, popcorn, and there was supposed to be hot dogs.
I was dressed up as a delicious hot dog with a mustard streak on the wiener in between the bun. Kids would yell out, «HOG DOG!» and I was then obligated to break out in a hot dog shuffle or seizure, whatever your imagination comes up with. I am a target for kids to come up and start poking, hitting, and kicking me. I don’t know if parents ask the kids to target me and abuse me, but violence and sugar seemed to bring joy to the kids.
I was a bit disappointed towards the end because I wanted a picture of me eating my ancestors in my hot dog outfit, but they ran out of hotdogs. I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 because they ran out of hot dog buns and did not announce it in a positive way. An elderly lady stood behind the counter inside and told us that there were no buns, but thousands of hot dogs. We asked when she thought the buns would arrive and she pretty much yelled at us stating that she didn’t know. I chose to be the bigger wiener and go outside to enjoy more costumes. The kids had so much fun and it was a great free community event that made me dance, sweat, be abused, see some adorable costumes, and watch the smiles of the children running around!
