Parents concerned about the safety of their children on Halloween may want to bring their kids to Trunk or Treat, a new, free event scheduled for 4-7 p.m. Saturday in the parking lot at the intersection of 232nd Street SW and 56th Ave. W. A group of residents have volunteered to park their cars and trucks at the lot and hand out candy to children. “We’re trying to provide a safe zone where parents know they can come in, walk around with their kids and not worry about somebody tampering with their candy,” said Seaun Richards, owner of The Red Onion Restaurant, which is sponsoring the event with other city businesses.
