(JKPL) — Calling all Trick-or-Treaters! It’s that time of the year and the Friends of the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library, the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library, the Northern Marianas Library Association and all our amazing community partners invite you all to please join us for the 10th Annual Community Halloween Trunk-Or-Treat event.
Held every year, this popular free public event helps to promote and strengthen community partnership and engagement, fosters family bonding, and provides families with an alternative activity to trick-or-treating door-to-door.
This spooktacular event is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2023 from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library parking lot in Susupe, Saipan.
Since 2012, thousands of children and adults have enjoyed hours of fun dressing up in spooktacular costumes and trick-or-treating in the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library parking lot.
This year, we will have monetary prizes for the Best Family Halloween Costume Contest. Registration is required to participate in the costume contest.
We will also have the return of People’s Choice Award for Best Community Trunk!
Last year, the People’s Choice Awards went to the Saipan Cubs Alpha Leo Club, which won 1st place. Priority Care Services won 2nd Place, and Coca Cola Beverage Micronesia won 3rd Place.
Which spooky trunk will be voted this year’s People’s Choice? Interested community partners and/or sponsors are invited to register a trunk or sponsor this year’s event by emailing foremancelina@gmail.com, calling the library at (670)235-7315 for 2023 TOT Coordinator Celina or by picking up a registration and/or sponsorship form at your friendly Joeten-Kiyu Public Library.
In order to prepare for the Annual Community Trunk-o-Treat event, JKPL’s parking lot will be closed on Friday, Oct. 27; Austerity Saturday, Oct. 28; Monday, Oct. 30; and Tuesday, Oct. 31.
