The Eastern Henrico trunk-or-treat is a drive across the county, at 1440 N. Laburnum Ave. Henrico describes it as a parking lot of decorated cars handing out candy, with no doorbells.

Churches and neighborhood groups around Short Pump also hold their own trunk-or-treats; check with your HOA or congregation.

Safety on Halloween night

• Be seen. Henrico hands out free reflective safety vests, in adult and child sizes, at every county government center, police station, library and recreation center through its Watch Out Ahead Henrico campaign, according to the county’s pedestrian safety page. Add a flashlight or glow stick.
• Cross at corners. Use intersections and crosswalks, especially near busy roads such as Pouncey Tract and Three Chopt.
• Drivers: slow down in neighborhoods from late afternoon on, and watch for children darting between parked cars.
• Check the treats before kids eat them, and toss anything unwrapped.
