(5:30-7:00p - Chenal Elementary Parking Lot)
🎃 A drive through Trunk or Treat
🎃 Each trunk station will be *themed* and a fun treat will be handed out for the children in your car. (A special school recognition will be given for the Trunk voted for Best Decorated!!)
🎃BONUS: Adults bring cash in $5 increments!! This will allow your name to be entered into a door prize drawing for every $5 you spend. (Hint: one of the prizes is a $100 Giftcard to Bones Chophouse!)
🎃We are making this a FREE event for all Chenal Elementary students, but in order to pull that off, we are asking that you help us by signing up to donate a few of our treat items.
🎃 We made it really easy to volunteer and donate! Just go to the signup genius link below and sign up for what you are willing to donate and also to sign up to be one of our special TRUNKS!
🎃 Please sign up and turn in donations by Friday, October 23. Volunteers that sign up to decorate their “trunks” will be sent a follow up email with more specific details.
🎃 Costumes are welcomed
