Salt Lake City Mommies 3rd Annual Trunk or Treat
by Jennifer Murdock

Salt Lake City Mommies and West Jordan City have partnered again this year for Salt Lake City Mommies 3rd Annual Trunk or Treat! This year we have added a carnival, vendor booths, face painting, magic shows, balloon twisting, cotton candy, pizza, costume parades and hands on demonstrations to our event. This year’s event is also featuring a trunk decorating contest with a prize valuing over 600 dollars! Please bring your CANDY and DECORATED Trunk to West Jordan’s Veteran’s Memorial Park (1985 W. 7800 S) at 3-6 P.M. on October 25th for a safe Trick or Treating environment. Vehicles wishing to park inside the park must bring candy and have decorated trunks. Other parking will be available around the park for those wishing to only participate in the other festivities. Candy donations will also be accepted at various locations throughout the park for those wishing to trunk or treat but do not want to decorate their trunks.
The trunk or treat will also be hosting a charity event for The Children’s Justice Center. The Children’s Justice center provides a comfortable, child-friendly atmosphere where children receive coordinated services during their child abuse investigative process. You can find a list of their needs and more about what they do on their website. (http://www.cjcslc.org/donate.html) There will be a truck there for you to load your donations.
Please check back often for updates!

Wrist bands can be purchased for carnival for $6.00
Pizza will be $2.00 a slice
