St. Helens Police Department to Host Second Annual Trunk-or-Treat Event
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 4, 2018
St. Helens, Ore. – The St. Helens Police Department invites all young ghosts, goblins, fairies, and angels to come trick-or-treat at the police station. The Department is hosting its second annual Trunk-or-Treat event on Halloween night, October 31, 2018, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the St. Helens Police Department, located at 150 S 13th Street.
Local businesses and community organizations will be on hand to give out candy and/or offer activities in which children may participate and learn about programs available to them in the community. Last year, approximately 300 children and families visited trunks and activity tables that local organizations and individuals had set up at the police station.
Halloween Trunk-or-Treat provides a safe and friendly environment for families to enjoy Halloween fun. Costumed children trick-or-treat outdoors by going from car trunk to car trunk to get their bag filled with goodies. St. Helens residents and visitors are invited to bring their children to participate in activities and learn about community programs. Adults must accompany children – No drop offs! Children are encouraged to wear costumes.
Individuals and businesses that would like to participate in the event may register on the Police Department’s website (https://www.ci.st-helens.or.us/police/webform/st-helens-police-departmen...) or by contacting Police Support Specialist Malinda Duran at 503-397-3333 x217 or malindad@ci.st-helens.or.us to secure a spot. Participants with vehicles are encouraged to decorate their trunks and/or dress in costume; however, keep in mind that this event is for young children. No alcoholic beverages are permitted, and there is no charge to participate. The St. Helens Police Department anticipates a higher turnout this year for the event. For that reason, it is suggested that you bring plenty of candy to share with trick-or-treaters. Businesses or individuals interested in participating should register by Wednesday, October 24.
“We are excited to once again host this family-friendly event for residents and visitors as part of Spirit of Halloweentown activities,” stated Police Support Specialist Malinda Duran.
