Brought my daughter to a trunk-or-treat and got this so so fun sized pack of peanut M&M’s. More of a trick than a treat really.
Drag worries that creating a bunch of extra car traffic on Halloween will just get more kids run over and create more need for trunk or treat. Perhaps it would be smarter to simply ban cars on Halloween.
A trunk-or-treat is a separate event from Halloween trick-or-treating that doesn’t necessarily happen on Halloween day. That’s part of the appeal, since Halloween might fall on a weeknight or the weather might be uncooperative. Also, the cars stay parked at a trunk-or-treat. I’m not sure what you mean about it creating extra car traffic.
The cars have to get from the homes to the carpark
Okay, but like I said it’s a separate event so it doesn’t create traffic that would make regular trick-or-treating more hazardous. It isn’t even really extra traffic. People often have to drive places for family friendly activities.
