(KAIR)--Now that the spooky season is upon us, with Halloween fast approaching, local groups, schools, and organizations are planning seasonal trunk or treat events.

Among them are the first responders for Atchison County, with just such an event coming up later this month, in Atchison.

According to a release, the Atchison County EMS trunk or treat is intended as fun for the entire family, offering the opportunity to meet with EMS, as well as the Atchison Fire and Police Departments, and view, up-close, their emergency vehicles.

The trunk or treat will be held Saturday afternoon, October 26, from 3 until 5:00, at Independence Park, located in the area of the Atchison Riverfront.

Along with trunk or treating, the afternoon will also include games, prizes, face painting, and, of course, candy.
