Ohio Christian University's Maxwell Center parking lot was filled with hundreds of smiling Trunk-or-Treaters on October 23 as the University hosted many neighbors and friends at its annual Halloween fun fest.
As ever, the children showed delight in the Trunk-or-Treat destinations and games, engendering another memorable time for the young-at-heart.
Families moved about the parking lot lined with cars with Halloween-style decorated trunks, collecting candy and playing games.
OCU students, staff, and faculty enjoy bringing this happy and safe experience to the Pickaway County community.
Participants proffered a variety of delicious treats from the many decorated vehicle trunks.
"It's always a 'terrific' evening! We have lots of fun sharing Halloween this way," declared a smiling, costumed staff member.
