The annual Town of Troutman Trails and Treats event on Saturday afternoon attracted an estimated 2,500 youngsters and their families to ESC Park’s nature trail to fill their Halloween bags with sweet treats in a safe environment.
House Doctors of Mooresville and Maid Right of Mooresville sponsored this popular town tradition.
Forty area businesses, non-profits, churches, and organizations decorated booths and decked themselves out in their Halloween best to hand out treats to the creatively costumed kids, with many parents also joining in the Halloween dress-up fun at this free event.
Controlled Chaos Coffee and Mista D’s Refreshments were also on-site with drinks and snacks for purchase.
Costumed town staff and police officers, along with Troutman Fire and Rescue personnel, also greeted participants with treats and smiles during the two-hour event.
