Drive-Thru Trunk or Treat at Westport Plaza
On Thursday, Oct. 29, Westport Plaza is holding a drive-thru trunk or treat event from 7-9 p.m. Per the event’s Facebook page, city officials and local businesses will hand out candy from their decorated vehicles while you and your little ones stay in your vehicle and drive along a marked route.
