MFBC Trunk or Treat Celebration
with Mableton Elementary School

October 27, 2023

Mableton First Baptist Church joined with Mableton Elementary School tp provide free popcorn and snowcones and to participate in the "Trunk or Treat" celebration to entertain and hand our candy treats.

Providing Free Popcorn and Snowcones

Handing our free popcorn and snowcones is something we have done for several years to contribute to Mableton Elementary's fall celebration. Gail Wade, Cheryl Anthony, Bob Wade and Barbara Floyd provide popcorn later in the event.

This starts a survey of the "Trunks" provided by MFBC starting across from our snacks and moving clockwise around the collection of trunks. Barbara Mewborn and granddaughter Ally Reyes provide treats at this first Trunk.

Families with elementary grade children, but also younger and older circulated to the trunks for treats.

Some of the visitors were quite young and accompanied by grandparents.

Matthew and Sarah Smith are next with their "Great Pumpkin" trunk.

Next are treats for a helmeted warrier.

Peter and Danielle Thompson have an elaborate spooky theme.

Spooky maybe, but these children liked it and were not frightened.

All ages found this scene very friendly.

Lee and Leigh Miller had a friendly toss game that even the youngest enjoyed.

A young tosser enjoyed it, and those who were watching were entertained.

On the other side of our set of Trunks we find Jordyn and Niya Doyle, and their big sister Jay Lynn with their family trunk.

This group of students from Georgia Tech were invited to participate and contributed a lot of fun to the gathering.

Marina Thompson contributed a toss game that was very popular with the youngest visitors.

Marina gets down to the level of this young warrier.

I don't know what kind of special powers this youngster has, but Marina is right there with him!

The little ones loved this soft toss game that Marina provided.

MFBC's Free Popcorn and Snowcone Provision

Lonnie Reyes and Xander Reyes manned the Sno-Cone machine for the evening and distributed all the ice from our big cooler. This was probably the biggest group that we have served.

Laura Mode and Jo Templeton provide the flavored syrup for the snowcones.

From our popcorn and snowcone stands you could look across the road to the large crowd gathered around our 10 Trunk or Treat stations.

As the evening progressed, the crowd got larger and large. Barbara Mewborn and Ally Reyes in the foreground of the largest group I have seen at one of these events.

Laura Mode provides tasty syrup for the snowcones for these youngsters. Laura was dedicated to the task all evening.

Barbara Floyd, Gail Wade and Tony Mode provide popcorn for the large crowd that gathered late in the event. For the first time, we distributed all the popcorn we had! Becky Ridgway and Pastor Doug Thompson greet the crowd and hand out publicity.

Mike Anthony and Laura Mode dispense syrup for snowcones till the very end of the event. It certainly appeared to be the largest crowd we have ever had, and we gave out all our supply of popcorn and snowcones. Additional helpers from MFBC were Ricky Ridgway, Phyllis McWilliams, Marsha Thompson, Noah Thompson.

The weather this afternoon was spectacular, and note the full Moon just to the right of the light pole in the center of the picture.
