(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, and our amazing community partners invite you all to please join us for the 9th 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 Monday, Oct. 31, 2022 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. However, Team JKPL pivoted our Halloween event into an indoor Book-a-Treat for the past two years from 2020-2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This year, we will resume an outdoor Trunk-o-Treat event in the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library parking lot! Hooray!
To date, we humbly thank all the participating trunks from our community partners: 4H Marianas, Chinese Association of Saipan, CNMI PSS Head Start/Early Head Start Program, Cubs Alpha Leo Club, IT&E, Insurance & Business Management Corporation, Joeten Motors, Lady Diann Torres Foundation, Marianas Pacific Distributors, Northern Marianas Humanities Council’s Motheread/Fatheread CNMI, Northern Marianas Technical Institute, Office of Juvenile Probation/Division of Youth Services, Office of Rep.
