Katie, Brian, and Callie Tomazic, 5, went as M&M’s for Halloween.

Melody and Ross Schiller had a Harry Potter-themed booth set up for their business, Ross L. Schiller & Associates P.C.

The East Meadow PTA Council had their booth decked out with inflatables, Halloween colors, and candy to spare.

Mackenzie Krug, 5, and her brother Christian, 7, were dressed up as a witch, and a police officer.

The weather was perfect — not too spooky, scary, rainy, or windy — for the East Meadow Chamber of Commerce’s third annual Trunk or Treat on Oct. 29.

Hundreds of children, and some parents, dressed up in their best costumes to walk around the East Meadow baseball complex and receive candy from local businesses and organizations who had booths set up. 50/50 raffles, Halloween themed music, and snacks were available for the trunk-or-treaters as well.

What started out as a safer way to trick or treat because of the coronavirus pandemic, has shifted into a community favorite event. The number of participants has increased significantly since it began. The line to get in was packed with kids all excited to see what treats awaited them ahead.
