'Trunk or Treat' at Halloween football game

Grand Valley's football team will celebrate Halloween by hosting the largest outdoor Halloween party in West Michigan.

Fans are encouraged to dress up in costume for the October 31 game against Northern Michigan and participate in the "Trunk-or-Treat" party. "Trunk-or-Treat" is like Trick-or-Treat except kids will get candy from the trunks of cars instead of houses. 

Fans can participate in two ways. The first is to be a "trunk" and hand out candy to kids. Place a GV pumpkin car cling in a visible location on your car and bring candy to give. The second way is to come dressed up in costume. There will be prizes for the costumes that are most scary, original, funny, and the overall best costume. 

"Trunk or Treating" will begin when the tailgate lots open at 4 p.m. and will last until kickoff at 7 p.m. Fans can get the official GV pumpkin car clings at both the Allendale and DeVos Bookstores and the GVSU athletic offices.
