Join us at our Rotary Club of Edina booth for a spooktacular alternative to door-to-door trick-or-treating with a HalloBoo Trick-or-Treat Trail. Volunteers will hand out candy bars and treats at this indoor alternative to door-to-door trick-or-treating and answer any questions participants’ parents or guardians have about Rotary. (All participants will receive chocolate candy bars. Those 5 and older will receive a Rotary flashlight.) Volunteers should wear their Rotary T-shirt or a fun, not-too-scary Halloween costume. This is a low-stress, fun community service activity benefitting Edina’s youth.
