Halloween is a beloved holiday by people of all ages, and even though it is approaching quickly, there are plenty of fun activities in the community. One activity in particular-- Sparta's Trunk-or-Treat-- took place on Sunday, Oct. 28 at Station Park. The dreary weather did not stop anyone from having a good time. There was a generous spread of hot chocolate, pumpkin pie, prizes, and naturally, some sugary sweets! Parents and children arrived dressed in their best costumes and went to collect candy from the decorated trunks of the parked cars to the tune of spooky music.
Sparta High School students participated in all the fun by helping out at this event. Volunteers had a variety of tasks that contributed to the success of the Trunk-or-Treat. First, they helped set up and prepare for the day. Students then collected candy donations from generous donors, while moderating the event. Some student volunteers handed out their own candy and treats at their own decorative car trunk. After the eager children collected their candy, they made their way over to the Munchkin March, where they marched in a line around the turf field at station park with their parents. Volunteers led the marching line and were also at the end of the line to make sure it went smoothly. More volunteers stood in the center of the field along with a couple of adult judges to hand out medals to the most creative, crafty, and interesting costumes the children wore. After the march, students handed out fun Halloween prizes to all of the participants in the march. The event brought smiles to everyone's faces, made possible with the help of the Sparta High School student volunteers!
