Halloween Happenings and Fall Festivals
Courtesy photo Auto dealerships along Interstate 90 in Post Falls along with the City of Rathdrum held successful “Trunk or Treat” events on Saturday night. Here is a trunk display by the Pluid family in Rathdrum that was honored. Both events drew thousands of people and trick-or-treaters were handed out candy from the trunks of vehicles. Area law enforcement and fire agencies also participated in the events.
