The Penn College Motorsports Association's annual Trunk or Treat, postponed by rain a week earlier, showed that the Halloween spirit didn't diminish with November's arrival.

"It was a great event and we are looking forward to doing it again next year," said PCMA President Alex Riddle, of Kingston, an automotive restoration student (and May graduate in automotive technology). "We couldn't have done it without the help of the Penn College Diesel Performance Club, Classic Cruisers and the Penn College 4x4 Club."

Skeletons and specters were in ample supply at Saturday's car show and candy giveaway, but it was all a frightfully good time.

"We also had the help of S&O Club (the Service Technicians and Operators' Association) bringing out their barrel train and hayride to add to the fun," Riddle said. "The Street Assassins car club was also very helpful spreading the word to the local community and bringing out their members to help expand the show this year."
