Trunk or Treat events are the new way to trick or treat

Trunk or Treat events have taken over in many towns as the preferred way to Trick or Treat in recent years, instead of going door to door, although some families still like to do both. It's a safe and fun way to show off your costume and load up on candy. My favorite Halloween candy is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. What's yours?

Mercer County's Trunk or Treat is brought to you by the Mercer County Park Commission. Bring your family to the Mercer County Park Festival Grounds for all the fun on Friday evening, October 23, from 5 PM - 7:30 PM.

Mercer County Park Festival Grounds are located at 1638 Old Trenton Road in West Windsor Township, NJ.
