LEWISTON — Lewiston Places Trunk or Treat will be a new type of “trunk or treat” from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, at Connors Elementary School parking lot, 400 Bartlett Street.
Children will have access to candy at each participating “trunk;” however, this Lewiston Youth Advisory Council event is also educational in nature.
Each trunk will not only have candy, but also be part of a 16-car mapped area that will be informative as well as sweet.
“If we are going to be cheerleaders of our own community, we need to truly know our community. As such, the youth council wanted to be creative in reaching out to families about what Lewiston has to offer,” LYAC Chairwoman Hope Rubito explained. “The city is over 35 square miles, and it is important to reflect on its various areas and activities. Children who attend this event will certainly receive their trunk or treat candy, but families will also be exposed to photos, props and handouts that highlight places such as The Franco Center, the Androscoggin Bank Colisee, the Lewiston Public Library, Jude’s Place at Marcotte Park, and Museum LA.”
Youth council members will pose as “costumed characters” encouraging visits to various Lewiston sites, to include Lucy the Lion Goes to the Library; Patti the Peacock Goes to The Public Theatre; Peggy the Pig Goes to Pettingill Park; and Taylor the Turtle Goes to Thorncrag.
Special guests will be Lewiston School Superintendent Todd Finn and a Lewiston Fire Department truck with firefighters on board. The event is free; attending children are asked to bring their own trick or treat bag. Candy will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, and the event will take place unless significant rainfall occurs.
