Want to Host a Trunk?
Carteret CC faculty, staff, students, clubs and organizations, as well as local businesses and community organizations, are invited to participate by decorating a trunk and handing out candy during the event.
By signing up, you’ll reserve a spot to host a decorated trunk. Please review the following guidelines before registering:
Trunks must be set up and ready no later than 5:00 PM.
Participants are responsible for bringing and providing their own candy or treats to hand out.
An adult must remain with the vehicle at all times during the event.
Decorations should be festive, appropriate, and family-friendly.
This is an alcohol- and tobacco-free event.
Carteret CC is committed to providing a welcoming, nonpartisan community event. Materials or signage soliciting funds or promoting partisan political activity are not permitted.
Individuals who are currently running for elected office are welcome to participate; however, because Trunk or Treat is a family-focused community event and not a campaign event, campaigning or distributing campaign materials is not permitted. Candidates may display no more than two campaign signs at their trunk.
Grab your decorations, stock up on candy, and help us create a fun Halloween experience for children and families throughout our community!
