Immediately following the downtown festivities, families can continue the fun at Henryetta First United Methodist Church, located at 1212 Lake Road, where volunteers will host a cheerful Trunk or Treat. Decorated vehicles, friendly faces, and plenty of candy will be waiting for trick-or-treaters in the church parking lot.
