Community children and their families are invited once again to “Trunk or Treat” at Boothbay Baptist Church on Saturday, Oct. 31, from 6-8 p.m.

This popular Halloween alternative allows costumed kids to do their trick-or-treating in a safe and controlled environment, going from trunk to trunk of vehicles parked in the upper parking lot of the church located across from the Boothbay Common. The trunks will be creatively decorated in a variety of themes friendly to young children.

This free event also features a bounce house, a kids’ ride, an appearance by the Boothbay Fire Department, face painting, complimentary hot dogs, and other attractions.

Those who attend are asked to enter on Chapel Street and park in the church’s lower parking lot.

For more information, call the church office, 207-633-7378, weekday mornings.
