ODR's Trunk or Treat?
It's never too early for some Halloween fun. Bring the whole family and join our real estate agents for Old Dominion Realty's 3rd Annual Trunk or Treat on Sunday, October 30.
What is "Trunk or Treat?"
Traditionally, kids have donned their Halloween costumes and walked door-to-door through the neighborhood, gathering sweet treats along the way. Trunk or treat puts a reverse spin on this popular activity by bringing candy to the kids.
These events first began showing up in the mid-1990s. At the time, they were usually referred to as "fall festivals," with the trunk or treat term gaining favor in the new century.
Simply put, trunk or treat is holiday tailgating. Participants decorate their automobile trunks and fill them with candy. Everyone then gathers in a parking lot, where kids can help themselves to candy from the open trunks.
