Oct. 20, 1-4 p.m.—RUTLAND—Wonderfeet Kids’ Museum hosts its much-anticipated 2nd annual Truck or Treat event from 1 to 4 p.m. This event promises an exciting combination of a “touch a truck” experience and a safe, supervised trick-or-treat for local children and families.
The Truck or Treat event offers kids a chance to explore a variety of interesting vehicles parked along Merchants Row and Center Street in downtown Rutland while gathering candy and goodies from festive trunks decked out in Halloween spirit.
Last year’s success sets the stage for an even bigger event
In 2023, this event drew an impressive 3,000 participants, and organizers expect an even larger turnout this year. Vehicles of all shapes and sizes will be on display, and local organizations are encouraged to participate by decorating their trucks and providing treats for as many as 1,500 children.
“Truck or Treat was such a huge hit with the community last year,” said organizers. “We actually ran out of room for all the vehicles that wanted to participate! It’s amazing to see so many families come together for this fun, safe event.”
Participants can expect to see all sorts of vehicles on display—fire trucks, utility vehicles, and other unique modes of transportation—offering a hands-on experience that kids love. In addition to trick-or-treating, there will be plenty of Halloween-themed giveaways and activities, making this event a highlight of the fall season.
Supporting Wonderfeet Kids’ Museum
Beyond the fun, Truck or Treat is more than just a family event—it’s also a vital fundraiser for the Wonderfeet Kids’ Museum. Last year, the event was the museum’s largest fundraiser, with proceeds helping to ensure that Wonderfeet continues to be an affordable, enriching resource for the entire community.
“We’re so grateful for the support we’ve received from the community,” the organizers noted. “The funds raised from this event go directly to keeping our museum accessible and affordable for local families, so everyone can continue to enjoy our educational programs and exhibits.”
Whether you come to explore the vehicles, trick-or-treat, or enjoy the festive atmosphere, this event promises a little something for everyone.
Get ready for a safe, fun-filled afternoon in the heart of Rutland on Oct. 20.
