Trunk or Treat, Milan and Berlin 2023

October 24, 2023

Mandy participated in two Trunk or Treating events during the Halloween Season. Berlin Elementary School’s PTO hosted their Trunk or Treat at the Heritage Park in Berlin on October 24th. Milan’s Recreation Department hosted another at Milan Village School on October 31st.

Community attendance was also amazing, with a line snaking around Heritage Park at the height of the event and kids running amok in Milan. The Hub appreciated being included in both of these wonderful community building opportunities!
