Last night , Friday 29 Oct our church sponsored a Trunk or Sweets for the local kids and thier families. We had candies and the large blow up for the kids, there were several hundred kids and adults that attended. Judith and I sat up a trunk on the tailgate of the truck and passed our candy, below you can see some of the other "TRUNKS" Had a great time and I think the Whittington's crazys (our costumes) were pretty neat. Hope each of you have a great holiday.
