CASSOPOLIS — The Cass County 4-H youth development program is hosting a community-wide activity, “Off the Street Trunk or Treat,” Saturday, Oct. 26, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Cass County fairgrounds and will include educational safety topics for the whole family.

More than 800 youth and multiple community businesses, organizations and groups participated last year and made the 2012 event extremely successful.

Its purpose is to engage the community to participate in an event together, create awareness regarding the opportunity for area youth to participate in 4-H and give children a fun, safe and educational Halloween activity.

Local 4-H clubs, organizations, businesses and families are being recruited to pass out pre-wrapped treats and/or other promotional items to youth participants.

Additionally, sponsorships are being sought.

For more information about the “2013 Off the Street Trunk or Treat” and how to participate, please call the Michigan State University Extension-Cass County office at (269) 445-4438.

The office is located at 120 N. Broadway, Suite 209, Cassopolis.
