“This is something the chamber has been doing for many years. I have been a part of the chamber for close to 20 years and it has happened every year I have been involved,” Mandy Shortridge, Chamber Secretary said.
Day two of Halloween weekend commenced Sunday afternoon at the KC Hall behind the Holy Rosary Catholic church. The fourth annual Trunk or Treat was scheduled to be held at 4 p.m. at the Lion’s Club Field however, due to the rain the event was moved to the KC Hall. Some participants decided to move inside the hall and set up at a table, however, many cars did opt to set up outside. The event was a success and many families showed up. George C. Potterfield Trucking pulled a semi in the lot and allowed children to walk through a “haunted trailer”. This was the second time the company participated in the event, and they do plan to continue this going forward.
“I mean, it’s a great way to get our name out there and let people know we’re here in town, but we enjoy doing it and want to keep it up,” Potterfield said.
The Monroe City Fire Department and Ambulance Team also came out and served free hot dogs, chips, and drinks to guests that arrived. This event has been hosted each year by Angie Chapman and brings the entire community together. Angie runs the event as a “one man band” and looks forward to putting it on every year. This year, 45 cars signed up to decorate their trunks. G.C. Potterfield Trucking took the first prize for “Best Trunk”. The costume contest took place at 5:30p.m. and was divided by age group.
