"Trunk or Treat," sponsored by the Elloree Police Department, the Town of Elloree and the Pythian Sisters of Elloree Temple No. 4, will be held at Joe Miller Park from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31. Children 12 and under and their parents, grandparents and neighbors are invited to the event. There is no admission fee, and parking is free.
