Trunk Or Treat Decorating Ideas For Trucks

Halloween comes but once a year, which means kids get just one night to trick-or-treat. What a bummer. So, it's a good thing someone invented trunk-or-treating. These trunk-or-treat events are often held on multiple days around Halloween, allowing kids to fill up their buckets several times over before October 31—just what the dentist ordered.
