Mentor Nissan recently announced that the third annual Trunk or Treat Block Party, a family-friendly Halloween celebration, will take place from noon to 2 p.m., Oct. 19, at the dealership, 6960 Center St. The event will feature creatively decorated car trunks, each offering candy and goodies for trick-or-treaters. Families can enjoy a safe and festive environment where kids can show off their costumes and collect treats from many local businesses and nonprofit organizations, according to a news release. This event is free to the public, and everyone is welcome to join in the Halloween spirit. Participants are asked to bring their own trick-or-treat bags. In addition to trunk-or-treating, there will be activities and photo opportunities. “We’re thrilled to unite the community for an afternoon of fun,” Managing Partner Ray Sminchak stated in the release. “This event offers parents a daytime option for Halloween festivities and gives kids another chance to show off their costumes. It’s also a fantastic opportunity for us to highlight the amazing businesses and organizations that enrich our community.” Businesses, organizations, and nonprofits are invited to join the fun by decorating the trunks of their vehicles in themed décor and handing out candy. Each decorated trunk will be automatically entered into the Trunk Decorating Contest, where one winner will receive a $500 donation and their name on the Trunk or Treat trophy, according to the release.
