Crunk Your Trunk

Tuesday was a memorable day here at Milligan College. It was the first annual "Crunk your Trunk". A few weeks before the event, students on campus begin planning and designing their tru
nks for this great occasion. They say it's for the kids, but the students deep down are in it for the $50 gift card to the restaurant of their choice. On the day of, students are anxiously and quickly "crunking" their trunks. The automobiles are parked in the designated parking lot and everyone sets up. At 6pm, the children are allowed to begin their festivity of trick or treating. Most of these children, are sons and daughters of faculty and staff, here at Milligan. (ABOVE: The Black Pearl and its
mates---notice the plank!)
Others are children from the neighboring areas. It is pretty cool because it lets kids trick-or-treat in a safe environment. Not only are the college students competeing for "Best Trunk" but the kids have theirown competition of "Best Costume" "Most Originality" or
even "Scariest Costume."
I was able to capture the winners
of each of these categories on camera. To the right, you can see Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean:
"Best Costume". Next, was "Most Originality" and the winner is: Slice of Pizza. The remaining costume is "Scariest Costume"---this kid was dressed well and did a good job of being scary. I was kind of worried when I was taking the picture. His parents really knew what they were doing...Dracula.
All of the kids were dressed so well!! The students were dressed up as well, ready to hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters! Unfortunately, Brett and I did not participate because 1. we didn't have time and 2. we are poor college students. But we did go and take pictures and look at the cute little kids!
