Anderson County Trunk-or-Treat events. Here's where you can take children for candy, fun.

Trunk-or-Treat, while it's not as traditional as Trick-or-Treating, is gaining popularity as a fun way to celebrate Halloween.

Trunk-or-Treat allows children to collect candy from a stationary location rather than from door to door. Trunk-or-Treat is also a great way to bring people together for a community event.

There will be numerous Trunk-or-Treat Halloween events around Anderson County.
