Infinity Athletics' third annual Trunk or Treat was a hit on Sunday afternoon, with 14 businesses setting up decorated trunks so little ones could circle the parking lot collecting candy.
It was a touch windy and chilly, but quite warm enough for a late-October day — and beautifully sunny.
"I just came to have some fun with the kids and share in the spirit of Halloween trick or treating," said Wyndi Breti, owner of Service Master Restore Moose Jaw. Breti had a Ghostbusters costume on, complete with a shop-vac/backpack. "I think they're having a great time. It's great to see all the different costumes and to let them come out in the warmth instead of late at night."
Tiny dinosaurs, a couple of traffic lights, superheroes, ghosts, large fruits, and animals wandered through the parking lot ooh-ing and ah-ing and collecting candy. Inside, families with smaller children played in the gym or coloured at tables.
"It's going awesome!" Melissa Marzolf said. Marzolf co-owns Infinity Athletics with her sister Katie Smith. "We have 14 businesses out, the kids are excited, it's such a fun afternoon. They're trick-or-treating, there's games and crafts, there's candy. Lots of fun."
Teresa Fellinger, who owns and operates Scrappin' With T inside Past Times antique store, had a large pumpkin patch and guarded it in her Snoopy outfit. She also represented her husband's business Fellinger and Son's Meats.
"I get to be a kid again," she laughed. "Just having fun! The kids are so excited, so this is fabulous."
