The Trunk ‘N’ Treat Fall Festival is a kid-friendly version of tailgating; it is a safe alternative to door-to-door trick or treating each year.

Kids Tailgating

People from the church decorate the trunks of their cars (with a variety of fun themes) and distribute candy to the hundreds of children who attend. The festivities will also include a bonfire where families can roast marshmallows and make s’mores together. In addition, hot dogs and drinks will be available free of charge.

This year’s event will be held on Wednesday, October 28, 2015. Festivities begin at 6:30 p.m. and will run until approximately 8:30 p.m. All children in our community are welcome to attend this event, but they must be accompanied by an adult.

So get your costumes ready and bring your own bags to fill up with yummy snacks! There is no need to register children ahead of time, just come prepared to enjoy a fun evening with friends and family!

Crossroads Ministries is located at 81 Walter Long Road, Finleyville, PA 15332, one mile south of Trax Farms, overlooking Route 88. For more information about Crossroads, please visit their website at www.crsmin.com or call 724-348-1620.
