Clearmont families are gearing up for the community’s favorite Halloween tradition. The Clear Creek Recreation District (CCRD) will hold its annual Trunk‑or‑Treat and Chili Feed on October 31, beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the district’s recreation grounds.
Event Details
Participants who plan to host a trunk‑or‑treat station should have their vehicles ready for trick‑or‑treaters by 6 p.m. CCRD staff encourage everyone to adorn their cars with Halloween décor, creating a festive street‑side parade of pumpkins, ghosts, and spooky lights.
Food will be available for a modest $5 per serving. Chili and cinnamon rolls will be served starting at 5:30 p.m., offering a warm, family‑friendly option for those braving the autumn chill. The menu is simple but satisfying, designed to keep lines moving so children can get back to the fun.
Activities for All Ages
Beyond the candy‑filled trunks, the event features a pumpkin‑carving showcase. Local artists and hobbyists are invited to bring their carved pumpkins to display, turning the parking lot into an outdoor gallery of creativity. Whether you are a seasoned carver or a first‑time participant, the showcase offers inspiration and a chance to share your work with neighbors.
For those who cannot attend in person, CCRD offers a to‑go service within Clearmont town limits. Call Amy Rowe at 307‑278‑1716 to arrange a pickup of chili and cinnamon rolls, ensuring everyone can enjoy the holiday treats, even from home.
Community Impact
The Trunk‑or‑Treat and Chili Feed has become a staple of Clearmont’s Halloween celebrations, fostering a sense of togetherness among families, volunteers, and local businesses. By keeping the event free aside from the low food cost, the district reinforces its commitment to a safe, family‑oriented environment where children can experience the holiday’s joy without the pressures of commercialized trick‑or‑treating.
Mayor [Name] praised the event, noting that “activities like this strengthen the bonds that make Clearmont a close‑knit community. We’re grateful to the CCRD staff, volunteers, and residents who make this night possible each year.”
