  37th Annual Monster Mash Drive-Through Trunk-or-Treat Event

  Sponsored by the Perkins Community Chamber of Commerce

  Date: Monday, October 31, 2022

  Time: 5-7 p.m.

  Place: TBD

  Details: Drive-Thru Event (please remain in your cars); Candy will be provided; 

  The Monster Mash was stared by the Perkins Chamber of Commerce in 1986 as a safe alternative to door-to-door trick-or-treating for children on Halloween.  Historically this free event was held each year in the Elementary School Gym.  In 2020, things changed, and we moved to a drive-through only  Trunk-or-Treat event, with the Chamber and other businesses in town providing candy to kids as they drove by.  After such a successful turnout the last two years, and due to the fact that we have simply outgrown the gym space, the trunk-or-treat style drive-through event will continue in 2022. 

  If your business would also like to participate by handing out your own bags of candy, you are more than welcome to!  Just plan on being in place by 4:45pm on the 31st! 

  If you have any questions, please call the Chamber Office!

  Children's Christmas Shoppe

  This popular event, now in its 5th year, is geared towards children that would like to come in and buy a little Christmas gift for their mothers and fathers, grandparents, siblings, teachers, etc.  The idea is that, with the help of donations from the Chamber and the Perkins community, there will be small, reasonably priced gifts that a child could come in, pick out, purchase, have wrapped, and then give as a gift. 

  Children between the ages of 3 and 12 will be able to purchase a gift for $1 - $3 with the help of a volunteer.  Gifts will be wrapped by volunteers for a surprise on Christmas morning. 

  All children are welcome while supplies last.
