Looking for safe, family-friendly Halloween festivities? Stop the local trunk-or-treat events tomorrow in Mansfield and Towanda, PA! The Laurel Health Centers will be handing out goodies and toothbrushes to help keep kids' teeth healthy after enjoying their sweet treats.

Laurel Health employees will be running a booth this Saturday, October 26, 2024, at two trunk-or-treat events; come say hi to us at:

• Mansfield Trunk-or-Treat Event: Goodies will be handed out from 3 pm - 6 pm in the First Citizens Bank parking lot, located at 15 S Main St. in Mansfield, PA
  
  
• Towanda Trunk-or-Treat Event: Goodies will be handed out from 4:30 pm - 6 pm in the Progress Plaza parking lot, located at 1 Elizabeth St. in Towanda, PA.

Nothing captures the magic of fall quite like colorful costumes and trick-or-treating together in the crisp autumn air. Trunk-or-treat events are a great way to enjoy a sense of community while assuring age-appropriate spookiness, fun, and safe treats. If you're worried about evening costume visibility, traffic, or your kids getting into trouble or scared during Halloween, try attending a trunk-or-treat event run by trusted local organizations where you know the participants, activities, and treats will be safe for young kids. We hope to see you all at Mansfield or Towanda's trunk-or-treat events!
