More than 100 children and their families sported tiaras, tutus, monster masks, superhero or other costumes at an early Halloween celebration, Trunk or Treat, Oct. 28. The parking lot in front of the Stoneybrook Recreation Center transformed into rows of vehicles decorated with witches and warlocks, strings of lights and other decorations. Children said "Trick or Treat" for candy as they car hopped for sweet treats.
