(VERNON, Connecticut) – Henry Park will be transformed into a family-friendly and fun Halloween fright fest for Vernon children who dare to show up for this year’s Trunk or Treat.
There will be a haunted school bus and a touch of Sleepy Hollow as there have been sightings of a horse with a glowing mane and a headless rider walking among the pine trees at Henry Park.
The FREE drive-thru event will be from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday and children will receive treats from Town departments and community organizations that have set up booths. People must remain in their vehicles.
“Last year’s Trunk or Treat was a huge success and children and adults alike said they loved it,” Mayor Dan Champagne said. “We decided to go it again this year to give Vernon children a special and memorable event.”
Hundreds of cars filled with eager trick or treaters came through Henry Park last year for what proved to be a fun, COVID-safe event organized by the Vernon Parks and Recreation Department.
