Ballinahown Development Committee held a ‘Drive Through trick or Treat’ event in the carpark in Ballinahown village on Saturday, October 31st, 2020 from 6pm to 7pm.
It was a socially distanced Halloween event for families, with treats for everyone.
Picture a reverse parade! Kids found themselves trick-or-treating safely from their car window.
Families will slowly drive through the carpark to collect their treats with lots of scares along the way!
The novel event got lots of media attention with RTE visiting the event along with the more local Westmeath Independent. You can see the RTE report here and the Westmeath Independent report here.
Thanks to all the volunteers, Fr Brendan for providing lanterns and decorations and Stepping Stones Early Learning Centre for sponsoring all the yummy treats!
