We all love our Halloween candy and there are several Trunk or Treat events in the QC before Halloween where your kid can get a stash of sweets.

Some parents love Trunk or Treat events because they say that it can keep kids safer than traditional trick-or-treating can, whether it be because of dark, poorly-lit roads or because drivers always zoom like it's a Fast and Furious audition and might put a kid in danger.

But from the kid's POV: Trunk or Treats mean more candy. It's the precursor to the Halloween night loot if you do plan to go trick-or-treating. For the parents or those in charge of the littles, it's also the test drive of the costumes to see how it looks and if anything needs to be pinned or if the little will in fact rip off and refuse to wear the bumblebee wings.
