Ellisville considers in-car Trunk-or-Treat | Local News

The city of Ellisville might be opting for a merchant-run Trunk-or-Treat event this year that would keep attendees inside their vehicles.

At the regular Board of Alderman meeting Tuesday, the issue was brought up as the state mandates that no more than 100 people can gather outdoors at a time, and Trunk-or-Treat has typically turned out more than that. The city usually sponsors the event, but event organizer Rita Sumrall suggested a drive-through event with spaced-out merchants on a one-way street. Police Chief Bruce Russell recommended Shelby Street, which runs parallel to the train tracks in front of Ellisville Feed & Garden, for easy traffic control. The city would be hands-off, per Sumrall’s suggestion.
