Families in the Ruston area have multiple avenues over the next few days to participate in local “Trunk-or-Treats.”
On Sunday, Oct. 30, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., the Springs ministry will host its second annual Trunk-or-Treat behind its building at 1601 S. Barnett Springs Road in Ruston. Games and activities will be available for kids as well as an assortment of candy.
“My hope is that this will be a good time for us to gather as a community and enjoy one another,” Springs pastor George Lee IV said. “It’s a great opportunity to connect with families that we have relationships with and finding new families that we may the opportunity to know. Ultimately, we want to have the chance to minister to families as needed.”
The next night, the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee at Louisiana Tech will host a Trunk-or-Treat at the Thomas Assembly Center located on E. Martin Luther King Jr. Ave from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. This event will feature carnival games, a costume contest, a cake walk and more.
Athletes representing multiple different Tech sports will be on hand to meet the attending kids.
“Youth in the community can come out and learn more about Louisiana Tech and what we do as student athletes,” SAAC Vice President Nariah Parks aid. “We would love to engage with the community.”
