Local Merchants Needed In MPD Trunk-or-Treat

Local businesses and community partners are invited to help support the Mesquite Police Department in providing a safe place for young “boils and ghouls” to enjoy Halloween.

The 15th Annual Trunk or Treat festivities will take place on Friday, Oct. 29 at the Casablanca parking area at 4 p.m. Mesquite Gaming will once again donate the use of the Casablanca parking garage for the event.

Businesses are welcome to reserve a trunk space. There is no entry fee, but you must provide approximately 4,000 pieces of commercially wrapped candy to hand out. Advertising is acceptable as long as it is family-friendly and does not stop the flow of the traffic.

Residents who would like to support the event are invited to donate candy which will be given out at the police department trunks. Donations can be made at the Mesquite Police Department at 695 Mayan Circle between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

This year’s theme is “Día de los Muertos,” and there will be awards for the “Most Festive” and “Spookiest” Trunks.

There has been a great response already and spots are filling up quickly! To reserve a trunk space, send an email with contact information to Sgt. Wyatt Oliver at woliver@mesquitenv.gov or by calling 702-346-5262 ext. 6127.
