Flint, Michigan – Using a series of community-centric trick-or-treat events, Mayor Sheldon Neeley encourages Flint families to enjoy the Halloween spirit. Designed to offer safe and festive enjoyment, these family-friendly events are set for several important sites in Flint, including Financial Plus Credit Union, Haskell Community Center, and the Flint City Hall.
Financial literacy meets Halloween funÂ
Starting the festivities, Financial Plus Credit Union plans to have their “Trunk-or-Treat Kids Day” at their Van Slyke Road location. Slated for Thursday, October 24 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM, the event promises an educational twist in addition to a trunkload of goodies.
Mayor Neeley is excited about the dual goal of the event—fostering early financial knowledge among the younger attendees. It’s not only giving candy; it’s also an investment in Flint children’s futures by pushing parents to open Kids Club savings accounts for their young children.
Children registered for a Kids Club savings account, intended for young people up to age 17, will have a whirl in the money machine and get a $10 initial deposit from Financial Plus at the event. Every trip to the bank turns into a small treasure hunt with a stop at the “treasure chest” bursting with surprises.
A Saturday of community engagementÂ
Maintaining the Halloween festivity, the Flint Police Activities League (PAL) will hold its own Trunk-or- Treat event at the 2 201 Forest Hill Avenue, Haskell Community Center. Families are welcome to spend a day full of more than just candy on Saturday, October 26 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM. Games, music, inventive costumes, even face painting will be part of the celebration. Together with PAL and several local partners, Mayor Neeley is excited to see the community come together.
Halloween Day extravaganza at City HallÂ
The celebrations finish on Halloween day, Thursday, October 31, with Flint City Hall itself organizing a unique trick-or-treat event. Mayor Neeley and City of Flint employees will welcome trick-or-treaters into the City Hall lobby from 4:30 to 6:00 PM. While celebrating Halloween, this event is a unique opportunity for parents and kids to look into the core of Flint’s civic government.
Reflecting the inclusive attitude of the town, Mayor Neeley underlines that all events are free of cost and open to the public. Flint families have chance to spend Halloween in safe and entertaining surroundings with these programs. City authorities aim to make sure Flint’s season recognizes happiness and communal spirit as its main features.
Flint is expected to be a hub of festive activity as Halloween draws near, under the direction of Mayor Neeley who guarantees a fun and safe environment for every family. From encouraging financial literacy to building community ties, these events not only provide a venue for classic Halloween enjoyment but also involve the community in significant manners.
