SUNY Canton Invites Community to 'Trunk or Treat' Event

by Lorette Murray

Canton, NY (10/08/2021) — The SUNY Canton Early Childhood program will be hosting a "Trunk or Treat" event from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 29, in the campus' French Hall parking lot (Lot 8).

The event is free and open to families of children aged 2-10. Participants are required to wear face masks.

"A 'trunk or treat' is similar to the traditional trick or treat that takes place on Halloween," explained Maureen P. Maiocco, Ed.D., Early Childhood AS and BBA program coordinator. "Children wear costumes and collect candy and prizes in one safe location, as they visit vehicles decorated by SUNY Canton faculty, staff and students. It is a fun way to celebrate Halloween."

Maiocco noted that the event is subject to change based on federal, state and local public health guidelines.
