The Union County Sheriff's Office is rolling out the orange carpet for their annual Trunk or Treat event, offering a family-friendly Halloween celebration that promises to be high on treats and low on tricks. Scheduled for October 18 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the UCSO Main Office, the evening aims to serve up a dash of fright alongside a hefty helping of fun. In an announcement made earlier on social media, families were invited to come outfitted in their "Halloween best" to collect candy from creatively decorated car trunks.
Participation is open to local businesses and organizations wishing to add to the lineup of decorated trunks. Those interested in showcasing their Halloween spirit and handing out candy to kids are directed to make an arrangement with Tyler Funderburke, as noted in the social media post by the UCSO. "Want to be part of the fun?" the post reads, asking potential participants to reach out via email for more details.
This annual event has proven to be a popular draw in the past, offering a safe environment for children to trick-or-treat and a rare opportunity for the community to engage with local law enforcement in a relaxed setting. Alongside the excitement of trick-or-treating, the UCSO promises a "spooktacular evening" that they hope will foster community connections and a collaborative spirit.
The Sheriff's Office event aims to capture the essence of Halloween: a concoction of playful scares and family-friendly festivities. To add to the spirit of the holiday, they are encouraging attendees, decorated in all manners of ghoulish garb, to converge on the UCSO Main Office that will have been transformed into a Halloween haven.
