Franklin TV: Trunk or Treat

The haunting results are in.

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 11/02/2025

Franklin TV: Trunk or Treat

some of the 40 pounds

Stalwart Steve Sherlock, Reporter-at-large was on the scene and reports that he had just about enough candy to cover the afternoon’s festivities. Same was true for us. With hundreds of zombies, ghoulies and ghosties haunting the high school parking lot, the Lions Club’s Trunk or Treat was a huge success.

Franklin.TV’s Taylor Tremblay and Steve as Franklin Matters joined many other haunted trunks. How much candy did they give out?

Almost forty pounds in all. (Wow!)

And – as always –

Thank you for watching.
