Trunk or Treat
Trunk or Treat is a beloved Marquette tradition, where parents decorate and open their trunks to the cutest trick-or treaters around! It’s a great way to see friends, get to know families, and trick or treat in a safe environment.
Trunk or Treat will be Sunday October 24th from 2-3:30 in the ECDC parking lot.
If you have questions please contact Sarah O’Donovan sarahcraighead@gmail.com or Kelli Petersen kellibeth53@gmail.com

You may drop off wine at arrival or dismissal at the ECDC. If you are able to contribute, then your child is allowed to wear “athletic (free) dress” the day you make your wine donation.
