Trunk-or-Treat
Everyone is invited to participate. We will line the streets around the town square, spreading out the trunks. This year we will be utilizing Lubbock Street, 8th Street and Garza Street. We are asking our "trunk" participants to please set up with a couple of parking spaces between. Dress up, decorate your trunk and enjoy all the ghosts, goblins, princesses and superheros that come out. As a COVID-19 precaution, we are encouraging masks and gloves for everyone.  Those who wish to set up a trunk please be in place ready to go by 5pm. You do not have to sign up, just show up. If you have questions, email or call us slatonchamber @gmail.com or 828-6238.
