Gateway Technical College will hold its fourth annual trunk-or-treat event, a free community event to provide a safe and fun way for children to have Halloween fun and get some candy too, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Oct. 12, on its Kenosha Campus, 3520-30th Ave.

The outdoor event – organized by the Gateway Technical College Law Enforcement Academy staff and recruits – features several different stations on the campus where children can play a game and trick-or-treat for candy or other fun items. A different Gateway program will be at many of the stops, providing a variety of fun activities for children to engage in and treats to gather.

“Gateway's trunk-or-treat gives our law enforcement recruits an opportunity to see community outreach in action,” said Amy Koeppel, Gateway director of Law Enforcement Training. “They can build and see partnerships among the different college disciplines as well as participating community members.  Events like these can show the recruits how these efforts can benefit the community.”

The event has grown over the years in popularity. Adults and older children will also have the opportunity to learn more about the college and the programs it offers, as well, through staff members who will be onsite for the event.
