Trunk or Treat
There were a lot of creative costumes and a few spooky trunks at Trunk or Treat 2023. Congratulations to the Owens for winning both the popular vote and the director's choice for their Taco Bell inspired trunk. Barbie is this year's most popular Halloween costume and it seems it was popular for our trunks as well. Also, it was good to see friends from bands past stop by to say hello.
