Halloween Carnival tomorrow at Holiday Harbor

The Canyon Lake Family Matters Club is hosting its 9th Annual Halloween Carnival and Trunk or Treat event tomorrow (Saturday) from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Holiday Harbor. Hundreds of children are anticipated to take part in the popular event.

Kids can come and trick or treat from trunk to trunk and enjoy a fun Halloween Carnival full of games, crafts and a costume contest, club founder Shawna Bowen said.

“The trunk or treat portion allows families, groups, clubs and businesses to get creative and decorate a themed car trunk,” Shawna said. “Several prizes will be handed out to the best-decorated trunks, including a $250 grand prize for the best trunk. So, grab your trunk and some décor and come out for a spooktacular good time.”

Trunk or treat is also a great alternative to the typical door-to-door trick or treating on a busy Halloween that falls on a school night this year, she said.

The carnival will include an apple-bobbing contest, carnival games, face painting, costume contest, and more. Child’s wrist bands are $5.00 and include all the fun.

There will be a snack shack with all the goodies a monster could want from mummy dogs to goopy nachos, Shawna said. Vendors will be at the carnival with all their Halloween wares and goodies available for purchase.

There are trunk-decorating entry forms on the club’s Facebook page and available by contacting the club at 714-394-4885 or info@FamilyMattersClub.org.
