The Hermon-DeKalb Booster Club hosted its 2024 Trunk or Treat on Friday, October 18 at the district’s bus garage parking lot. All Hermon-DeKalb CSD families were invited to participate in the community event.

Starting promptly at 6 p.m. on Friday evening, throngs of costumed youngsters arrived with excitement in their eyes, and were ready to join the tireless hunt for candy. The community decorated trunks and distributed treats to the local children. Many families told the Gouverneur Tribune Press that they enjoyed seeing all of the creative themes and festive displays for an evening filled with spooktacular fun.

The Hermon-DeKalb Booster Club sponsors this event to help provide a fun and safe environment for the community kids to be able to dress up and trick or treat. The community has been generous enough to continue to support this event each year by either volunteering to bring their vehicle, decorate it and pass out candy or by bringing their family and friends to enjoy themselves at the event.

“We want to thank everyone who participates in making this a successful evening of fun,” the organizers said.

The Booster Club helps to provide financial support to extracurricular student activities at Hermon-DeKalb. If you would like to join, contact Beth Holland at eholland@hdcsk12.org or Sheila Conklin at sconklin@hdcsk12.org.

Ed. Note: Faithful readers of the Gouverneur Tribune Press will recall that there will be several trunk-or-treating events held across the North Country this October. See the community calendar in this week’s Gouverneur Tribune Press for a list of upcoming events.
