Scenes from Franklin TV & Radio inaugural Trunk or Treat (photo essay)

On Friday, October 25, several members of the Franklin TV & Radio gang got together to transform the studio parking lot into a community friendly Trunk or Treat.

One inquiring reporter greeted folks as they arrived with a couple of key questions: 

"Was there any truth to the rumor that kids liked candy?"

The answer to this one was a responding Yes.

The second question was 

"Is there any truth to the rumor that free candy is available here?"

The answer to that one was that they hoped so. Fortunately, they did confirm as they left, that it was indeed true.

oh, yes, the referee was getting ready for the double bubble boil and trouble scene

the spooktacular trunk or treat parking lot

There was no truth to the rumor of strange folks inhabiting the studio. The strange folks were outside in the parking lot hosting the event

Alas, as business slowed down as darkness settled in, we did close at 7ish rather than stay until 8 PM. We'll plan for different hours next year

One friendly youth leaving was reported to have said, the candy was good, the costumes were better.

Thank you, we'll take that into account for next year!
