Has anyone ever heard of a trunk-or-treat? One of the churches I pass on the way to work is having one this year. I had never heard of it, so I looked it up on about.com.

Holding a Trunk-or-Treat Halloween activity is a great way to keep Halloween safe. What is a Trunk-or-Treat? It's when several families get together at the church building, park their cars in the parking lot, open up the trunks of their cars, and kids come around to each car to Trunk-or-Treat instead of going house to house to Trick-or-Treat.

Let people know the estimated number of children that will be there so they can know how much candy to bring.
If Halloween is on a Sunday you can hold the Trunk-or-Treat activity on Saturday the 30th.
Those who don't have trunks (or cars) can also hand out candy by standing in-between the cars.
People can even decorate their cars!
