Southwestern College Hosts Trunk-or-Treat Event

Southwestern College Education Builders are providing a safe place for area youth to gather as they host their annual Trunk-or-Treat at the base of the college’s 77 Steps on Sunday, Oct. 26, from 2-4 p.m.  There is no admission charge and the community is invited to attend.

The Trunk-or-Treat will consist of decorated vehicles parked near the bottom of the 77 Steps and children and their families will be able to walk through and vote on their favorite one.  In case of inclement weather, the event will be held in Deets Library.

Ed Builders is an SC education organization that strives to do as many projects as possible to benefit children of all ages.

The Trunk-or-Treat event is sponsored by Ed Builders with funding provided by the Southwestern College Student Government Association.
