Halloween is just 29 days away and as the days pass, the excitement continues to grow. The trips to the costume store, the searching online, and even trying costumes on when they arrive in the mail is all a part of the buildup. So many people enjoy Halloween for the opportunity to dress up and show their creativity, others are in it for the candy, and some enjoy the spooky festivities of the holiday, either way Halloween is enjoyable for most.

If you ask a child what their favorite part of the Halloween holiday is, they will tell you that it is throwing on their costume and going trick or treating as they load up on candy. Some of them love to go to the biggest neighborhoods and some want to go all over the city, at the end of the day they all want the most amount of candy as possible. One of the ways kids have been loading up on candy is Trunk or Treat events happening near them.
