PROJECT #1 - TRUNK or TREAT

The Connecticut State Grange will be participating in a Halloween Trunk or Treat on Monday, October 30, 2023 with the American School for the Deaf and we are asking that Granges and Volunteers decorate their vehicles for Halloween and distribute items to ASD students and their siblings.

Time: 5:00 PM Set-Up • 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM Trunk or Treat
Location: American School for the Deaf - Front Parking Lot, 139 North Main Street, West Hartford, CT

So what exactly is trunk-or-treat?

The idea is simple: Participants (Community and Pomona Granges, ASD staff, etc.) bring their cars/trucks to the front ASD Parking Lot in West Hartford at 5:00 PM. Participants decorate their cars for Halloween, sometimes creating elaborate scenes out of their trunks. Then ASD students and their siblings walk from vehicle to vehicle from 6:00 – 8:00 PM, collecting items the way they would during a normal trick-or-treating outing.

PROJECT #2 - PARADE OF HALLOWEEN COSTUMES & HALLOWEEN MAZE

The Connecticut State Grange will be participating in a Halloween Costume Parade and Maze on Tuesday, October 31, 2023 with the American School for the Deaf. Volunteers are needed to assist with both of these activities.

Time: Noon to 2:00 PM
Location: American School for the Deaf - Library, 139 North Main Street, West Hartford, CT

Costume Parade: The Connecticut State Grange will be hosting the final stop of the Costume Parade in the ASD Library. Grangers will be able to sit at a decorated table and hand out items to students.

Halloween Fun Maze: The Connecticut State Grange will also host a fun Halloween Maze in the ASD Library for students (Pre-K through Grade 5). The fun (not-scary) Maze can include items such as corn stalks, pumpkins, a “camp fire”, games, stickers, bookmarks and themed pumpkin characters based on Halloween books. Grange themes will be woven into the event (fruits, vegetables, farming, gardening, etc.) and Grange volunteers/guests will interact with students, teachers, and other attendees.
