Trunk or Treat a Safe Halloween Alternative in Kinnelon

Hundreds turn out for event at Kinnelon High School.

Trick or Treating is special for kids young and old. In the aftermath of Tropical Storm Sandy, the fun that is the holiday looked like it might not happen.  

But trunk or treating came to the Kinnelon High School parking lot as an alternative.

"I had a discussion with the mayor that our town is just not safe enough for the kids to be walking around with the downed wires and trees," Councilman Jim Freda said. "We decided to do this so the kids didn't miss Halloween and try to bring back a little sense of normalcy."
