Non Scary Trunk or Treat Tutorial

1st Annual
Trunk or Treat Family Night Event at 
Faith Baptist Church




I've never done a trunk for Trunk or Treat before so I didn't volunteer.  Then on Sunday I was asked to do one because they were short a few cars for their space.  It was hard to do as I have never seen a decorated trunk.  So I didn't know how to proceed.




Mom drove by on her way home and saw me working on it so she stopped to Trunk or Treat!  
She went home with Kit Kat bars!

Yes, that's my purple cow in the background.

Here is the "action movie" of my trunk 



The event was really fun.  Everyone had a nicely decorated trunk and tomorrow I'll post some of them.

The Family Night had several events.  The public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  There was a very large bouncy house, a dozen or so carnival games with prizes on one side of the building.  The teens put on a great 10 minute skit every half hour (as only teens can do!) and the Trunk or Treat event was on the other side of the church where the cars lined up and kids went around the parking strip on both sides from one decorated car to another for a handful of treats at each car.


It was a nice nice for our community and we did this in lieu of our Wednesday evening service.

Just finished Trunk or Treat at my grandchildren's school parking lot, such fun. Your trunk is fabulous, I just hung some black paper and a huge spider from my hatch. Looking forward to seeing more photos with the lights. You are so creative.

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one evening...so I didn't

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside the decor was tropical and spacious with o
