TRUNK OR TREAT

Trunk-or-Treat was a huge success, according to Gabriela Keator, the event coordinator.  Twenty-three cars were entered, ranging from exciting winter themed cars to ambulance and police vehicles.  The three winners of the night were Performance Automotive with a race car, three teachers from Conte with a “Tunnel Car” and a Graveyard car submitted by the Tyler Street Business Group. Morningside turned out to be the perfect location, providing an excellent venue for a fun family night out for the estimated 500 people who attended, many of whom were able to walk to the school. Special thanks are extended to the Pittsfield Police, the Sheriff’s Department, Dr. Jake McCandless, the high school volunteers, and all of the sponsors; and to the Rotarian volunteers: John O’Brien, Gail Molari, Kelly Marion, Luke Marion, Robert Harrison, Carol Leibinger-Healy (with Lauren and Jessica Healey), Vin Marinaro, Jodi Rathbun-Briggs, Jay Marion and Shaun Heimann.  Gabriela Keator, her parents Frederick and Renee Keator, as well as Gabriela’s classmates did a great job organizing this event and helping to decorate and clean up the night of the event.   While final numbers are not yet available, it appears the event raised approximately $3,000.
