TRUNK-OR-TREAT TRIUMPH Oct. 31, 2025 Costumes, Creativity, and Community Come Together at Luna Submitted by: Mary Frances Bibb, ACE, Workforce Development, Campus Life Coordinator Luna’s campus transformed the Administration parking lot into a festive and safe Halloween community event. The Trunk or Treat was hosted by LCC Campus Life in conjunction with the Luna Community College Foundation. Eighteen decorated vehicles participated, ranging from a spooky skeleton motorcycle rider and the “I Love Luna” trunk, to the LCC preschool van that was transformed into a giant spider. The event also featured a scuba diver swimming with sharks, minions running around the parking lot, and the No. 11 Trolley— offering a Casper-the-Friendly-Ghost–inspired ride around campus and transporting a total of 198 passengers throughout the afternoon. Volunteers from Luna’s staff and faculty outdid themselves to provide an afternoon of laughter, fun, costumes, and Halloween spirit. The parking lot was filled with ghosts, goblins, witches, superheroes, and countless other imaginative costumes. A decorating contest judged by community members and the LCC Student Senate was held for the “Best Decorated” trunk. The CDL Department was named this year’s winner for its interactive spiderweb display, where children attempted to retrieve treats guarded by a giant spider. Plans are already underway to make next year’s Trunk-or-Treat even bigger and better. There is discussion about adding more interactive elements, such as a haunted walk-through or possibly even a full-blown haunted house. “The success of the event hinged on participation from our local communities,” Dr. Linder remarked. “It was also wonderful to see so much campus involvement. I know families and children thoroughly enjoyed themselves!” Thank you to Luna’s Student Senate, athletes and coaches, security, and our facilities teams for helping with set-up and take-down activities, traffic control, and assistance with the loading and unloading of the trolley. A special thank you to the community for attending and making this year’s Trunk-or-Treat a success! Events like this continue to grow in popularity, offering a safe and inclusive alternative to traditional trick-or-treating where creativity and community truly flourish.
