Children flock to Trunk or Treat

It's become a familiar sight in Green River.

A segment of Flaming Gorge Way closed off and lined with vehicles decorated in their Halloween best as hundreds of children, dressed as monsters, wizards, superheroes and more, eagerly make their way along the street, picking up candy from each of the vehicles.

Saturday's Trunk or Treat is estimated to have brought 3,500 people to downtown Green River according to Jennie Melvin, director of the city's Urban Renewal Agency/Main Street organization. Melvin said Main Street volunteers handed out 1,200 individual pieces of candy throughout the day and said 31 businesses participated in handing out candy.
