Mom Tips for Trunk-or-Treat Season

  • Go early in the month for smaller crowds; the Oct 24 weekend will be packed (but so fun!).
  • Bring a separate candy bucket — the free tote bags fill up fast with six kids. Ask me how I know. 😅
  • Layer costumes over warm clothes. Missouri weather on Halloween is a gamble every single year.
  • Check Facebook day-of — times can shift, and new trunk-or-treats pop up constantly. I'll share any I spot on The 417 Mom page!

Happy haunting, mamas! 👻🍬
