New Testament Baptist Church near Miami Lakes is holding its annual Trunk-or-Treat and fall festival on October 31, from 7 to 9 p.m. in the parking lot of the church, located at 6601 N.W. 167 Street.
The event is a safe, family-friendly alternative to Halloween, and will offer treats and goodies to children with stations at every car trunk parked in the parking lot. Some of the trunks will be “nut-free” for those with allergies who would still like to participate. “Nut-free” cars will be teal, the official color for allergy free treats.
To maintain the atmosphere of the event, the church asks that those attending not wear evil, scary, gory or lewd costumes. All children must be accompanied by parents.
Though the trunk-or-treat event is free, suggested donations will be collected for the hurricane victims in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Donations can be monetary or material goods such as baby supplies, bottled water, canned food, and feminine products. Disaster relief support isn’t limited to the event, those interested in donating can do so by dropping off donations at the church or school any time in October.
Apart from the trunk-or-treat activity, there will be hayrides, music, food, and face painting at an additional cost. For more information call the church at 305-558-4930.
