This year, a block of Talcott Street will be closed down for the event, allowing for more trunks to hand out treats. There will also be cars parked with their trunks open on the access road by Ice Cream Works.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">To enter a vehicle and pass out candy, simply decorate the trunk of a car, the bed of a truck, or even a parking space! The Halloween event will involve a candy check conducted by the Owego police and police dogs to check for metal or substances in the candy at the station. While some people believe Owego is a small enough town to be free of that worry, Hartman said it\u2019s to keep the kids safe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe started the candy check in 2016, and we\u2019ve done it every year since then, except for 2020 when we took a break for Covid,\u201d Hartman said. After 2020, it became a full-on Trunk or Treat.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_107868\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/d28r85ckdoaa46.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/10\/24074753\/Trunk2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107868\" class=\"wp-image-107868 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/d28r85ckdoaa46.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/10\/24074753\/Trunk2.jpg\" alt=\"\u2018Trunk or Treat\u2019 returns to the flats!\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"http:\/\/d28r85ckdoaa46.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/10\/24074753\/Trunk2.jpg 400w, http:\/\/d28r85ckdoaa46.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/10\/24074753\/Trunk2-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-107868\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo from last year\u2019s Trunk or Treat event in the flats.
