Ellsworth, ME – Families are invited to a festive and safe Halloween celebration this Friday as the Down East Family YMCA and Star 97.7 team up to host a Trunk-or-Treat event in Ellsworth. The event runs Friday, October 31, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the YMCA parking lot.
According to the Hancock County Sheriff’s Department, Lt. Dakota Dupuis and Deputy Austin McDonald will be on hand to greet families, hand out candy, and join in the fun. The department encouraged residents to stop by, collect treats, and enjoy a few laughs with the deputies — even hinting that attendees might try a harmless Halloween trick or two.
The free, family-friendly event will feature decorated car trunks, plenty of candy, and community camaraderie. Organizers said the celebration will go on rain or shine, and everyone is encouraged to come in costume.
Those interested in participating as trunk hosts or volunteers can contact Jean Wood at the YMCA for details.
