Trunk or Treat moved to firehouse

AMENIA— Though Halloween was just one day away, trick or treaters in the town of Amenia didn’t have to wait long to get their scare on as they stopped by the Trunk or Treat event held on Saturday, Oct. 30.

Originally set to be held at Beekman Park, Amenia Recreation Supervisor Kelly Milano thanked the Amenia Fire Company for opening the firehouse to the town just in case it rained.

Running from 3 to 4 p.m., local trick or treaters and their families admired the cars that had been decorated for the event and added candy to their Halloween bags and sacks.

Delighted by the success of this year’s Trunk or Treat, Milano said they had 10 cars and a staggering 90 children participate in Saturday’s event.
