BEST TRUNK or TREAT EVER!

THANK YOU From Karen Koop and the DVCA Steering Committee

Sunday's Trunk or Treat was an incredible success! Just check out the great photo collages at the bottom of this post!

Thanks to our wonderful community for dressing up, decorating their vehicles and coming out for the fun. There were over 200 enthusiastic kids and equally excited adults, firefighters, sheriffs, two llamas, one goat, two mini horses, lots of friendly dogs— all decked out in adorable costumes.  We even had hayrides and live fireside music!

We couldn't have put on this event without a place to stage, so the first thank you goes to Rod and Pam McKinley for allowing us to take over their property for three days!

Then, a party of this magnitude requires a STEALTH crew of volunteers who each deserve many rounds of applause for their hours of dedication and hard work. So here they are:
