What can be better than cars and candy bars?

Members of the community are encouraged to join in the Trunk-O-Treat event. Byron Health Center residents will also come out and help pass out the candy. There will be a fire roaring in the fire pit while popcorn and hot drinks will be served. Warm up in the Eakin Family Room and catch a spooky movie on the big screen TV. This will be a fun-filled fall evening for all! The event will be held rain or shine and is free of charge.
