EDADS Trunk or Treat

Join us at Eastbluff Elementary on Saturday, October 26th at 5PM for the ultimate "Trunk or Treat" event! It’s the perfect chance for the kids to break in their Halloween costumes early and enjoy a spooky evening of candy, community, and creative costumes. We’ll have cars decked out on the blacktop for trunk-or-treating and a thrilling costume contest for the little ghouls and goblins. Tickets are $25 per family and can be purchased at edads.org. Don’t ghost us – it’s going to be fang-tastic!
Why did the skeleton stay home from Trunk or Treat?

He had no-body to go with!
