Halloween night was the annual Princeton downtown Trick-or-Treating event, and as in past years, hundreds of children and parents filled the street with their bags to gather candy offered by the community.
Main Street was blocked off after 3:00 pm to allow local individuals, businesses, clubs, and others to set up their booths to greet those attending dressed in various costumes. This year, there was an added attraction as several local churches set up with their vehicles to offer trunk or treat. The event was officially scheduled to begin at 4:00 pm and last until 6:00 pm.
Assistant Princeton Police Chief Shane Allison feels like this setup is good for both the youth and the community.
Pastor Jerry Horine of Princeton First Baptist coordinated the local churches that set up for trunk or treat and was pleased with the number of vehicles and churches participating.
Kay Noel was at one of the vehicles for trunk or treat and was enjoying serving the community.
As those youth participating were leaving the street, you could see bags full of candy and goodies with smiles on their faces.
