Kids of all ages dress in costume, looking to score some candy, and enjoy a Halloween night trick-or-treating.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the week Sabal Palm Elementary School welcomed 22 vendors for its 7th annual trunk of treat. Kids in grades pre-K to 5th enjoyed costume parades, music, sno-cones, face-painting and cookie decorating.<\/p>\n<p>Cynthia Covington is a business owner and mentor with Big Brothers, Big Sisters, a community partner of Sabal Palm, and she\u2019s on campus every week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that if they [students] didn\u2019t have this opportunity, he [the mentee] probably wouldn\u2019t get to go trick-or-treating or otherwise have his costume on and so for some of the kids I feel like this is just a way for them to feel very normalized and have a great holiday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the college community, Florida State\u2019s Interfraternity Council Community Service board hosted its own Trunk-or-Treat Wednesday. The event took place at the FSU Lakefront Park known to students simply as the REZ. Each fraternity and sorority decorated cars and handed out candy to families in attendance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so we do a lot of events for students, and that cohort, or that community and really wanted to give back to our faculty and staff and just like everybody else who\u2019s like kinda involved with FSU,\u201d said Assistant Director of the Lakefront Park &amp; Challenge Program Bay Bennett.<\/p>\n<p>Just a half-a-mile south of Doak Campbell Stadium, families and college students alike can enjoy the Terror of Tallahassee. The Halloween destination is billed as the capital city\u2019s \u201cpremiere\u201d haunted house attraction. The crew has been scaring Tallahassee audiences since 1999\u2014each year, open 13 nights.<\/p>\n<p>WFSU caught up with terror expert Kurt Kuersteiner, owner of the house,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I love the fact that we\u2019re basically paid to prank people, and they want to be pranked\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody who comes here wants to be scared. Now they have no idea how scared they\u2019re actually gonna get. And a lot of them sit there and go wait a minute\u2013I didn\u2019t sign up for this. I thought I was signing up for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On November 1st, the Terror of Tallahassee will host Lights Out Night, featuring the typical spooky season scares in pitch black. Attendees are given a single glow to light the way.
