No plans made for Trunk or Treat

By Kathy Thomson

Members of the Albany Ministerial Alliance will not sponsor Trunk or Treat this year, according to Alliance president Brad McBee.

“Members stated that they would support any other organization that wanted to sponsor it, but they had no desire to do anything with it this year,” said McBee.

Started by members of First Baptist Church as a family-friendly activity that took place during Halloween, the event was more recently sponsored by the local Ministerial Alliance. 

Trunk or Treat was typically held at the Bank Park. Last year it was relocated to the elementary school to join Fall Fest.

Unless a new sponsor emerges, Trunk or Treat will not take place this year.

As an alternative, Albany Chamber of Commerce manager Mary Beth Jones is encouraging everyone who would like to hand out candy to line the downtown sidewalks between 3:00 and 4:30 p.m. on Halloween.

“Trick or Treat Downtown with the Merchants,” she invited.
