Halloween fun to returns
with annual Trunk or Treat
By Jessica Taylor
jtaylor@dawsonnews.com
Rock Creek Park is preparing for a hauntingly
good time at its eighth annual Trunk or Treat
festivities on Halloween. It will be held Oct. 31
from 4 to 6 p.m.
The family-friendly event began at the park
eight years ago as a way to provide children in
the community a safe place to trick-or-treat in a
well-lit and traffic-free environment.
Admission and parking are free and all ages
are welcome.
Trunk or Treat is sponsored by local business
es and organizations including the sheriff’s
office, Rotary Club, Wee Books and K.A.R.E.
for Kids. There are currently over 40 sponsors
and the list keeps growing, according to Buffie
Hamil, programs and facilities coordinator at
the park.
“We started this event in 2012 with no idea it
would become so huge so quickly,” Hamil said.
“It continues to grow a little each year and we
are so grateful to have such a supportive com
munity of sponsors. They continue to set aside
their Halloween afternoon year after year to
provide a fun event for the families.”
Hamil anticipates around 3,000 people partic
ipating in Trunk-or-Treat this year, with about
1,000 of those being children.
There will be plenty of candy, treats and toys
for trick-or-treaters as well as free activities
such as hay rides, carnival games, bounce hous
es and face painting.
Hamil said the parks department will also be
selling concessions to raise money for the Parks
and Rec Relay for Life team.
“We’ll have drinks, popcorn, chili, soups,
mac and cheese, hot dogs and Kona Ice avail
able for purchase, so families can trick or treat
and have dinner all in one stop,” Hamil said.
Activities and booths will be set up in the
cloverleaf ball fields (Fields 9-12). Booths
will be set up along the sidewalks while the
activities will be set up in the outfields of the
fields.
“This is an extremely fun event that we
look forward to each year,” Hamil said. “We
love that we are able to offer the community a
safe place for the kids to trick-or-treat, where
there is good lighting, no vehicle traffic and
restrooms on site. And it is done during a
time frame of the day that allows families to
be home before dark or make other trick-or-
treat stops once they leave Rock Creek and
still make it home at a decent hour.”
Rock Creek Park is located at 445 Martin
Road in Dawsonville.
Tips for staying safe
The Safe Kids Worldwide initiative sug
gests the following tips to help children
stay safe on Halloween:
•Walk safely.
• Cross the street at corners, using traffic
signals and crosswalks.
• Look left, right and left again when cross
ing and keep looking as you cross.
• Put electronic devices down and keep
heads up and walk, don't run, across the
street.
•Teach children to make eye contact with
drivers before crossing in front of them.
•Watch for cars that are turning or
backing up.
•Trick-or-Treat with an adult.
• Keep costumes both creative and safe.
• Decorate costumes and bags with reflec
tive tape or stickers and, if possible,
choose light colors.
• Choose face paint and makeup whenev
er possible instead of masks, which can
obstruct a child's vision.
When selecting a costume make sure it is
the right size to prevent trips and falls.
• Have kids carry glow sticks or flashlights
to help them see and be seen by drivers.
•Drive safely on Halloween. Popular trick-
or-treating hours are 5:30 p.m. to 9:30
p.m. so be especially alert for kids during
those hours.
