From pirates to pumpkins to princesses and puppies, trunk-or-treat is a fun way to show off your creativity and celebrate Halloween. Trunk-or-treating is a play on the traditional trick-or-treating with children going from car to car rather than door to door. It’s also more convenient for children by giving them a shorter walk but the same amount of candy, said Beth Weikel, a member of Gainesville First United Methodist Church.
