The Old Mission Peninsula United Methodist Church held their annual “Trunk or Treat” event yesterday, and some 75 kids stopped by to get treats from 14 cars in the church parking lot.
It was a bright and breezy autumn day, so it’s a good thing it was yesterday and not today, because the snow flurries are whipping across the Old Mission Peninsula as I write this.

In fact, because everyone was wearing masks anyway, it almost seemed like a “normal” community event in these times when the Covid-19 pandemic continues to sweep through the country.
Covid protocols were in place, however, with each masked and gloved “trunker” handing out pre-packaged candy to little “treaters” dressed as pineapples and lions and princesses.
The trunkers also got creative with their techniques, like Pam and Rocko Fouch’s highly engineered candy chute, and Lisa Buckley’s fabulous monster-decorated trunk.
Here are a few photos of the happy event.

SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL NEWSPAPER: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers and magazines like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So I started my own newspaper.
Because Old Mission Gazette is a "Reader Supported Newspaper" -- meaning it exists because of your financial support -- I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks our way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the OMP. In a time when local news is becoming a thing of the past, supporting an independent community newspaper is more important now than ever. Thank you so much for your support! -Jane Boursaw, Editor/Publisher, Old Mission Gazette
