Under the sea was the theme of this elaborately designed trunk belonging to volunteers Michael Kennedy, left, and Corey Kennedy.

One of the spookiest trunks was manned by Fischinskie family members (l-r) Addyson, Ron, Madelyn, Morgan, Amy and Danielle.
The Cape Henlopen Elks Lodge 2540 parking lot was recently transformed into Count Dracula Drive for an inaugural trunk-or-treat event for children.
Fun and scary decorations adorned car trunks full of candy to be passed out. A group volunteers came out to assist in the fun, including four teens who read scary stories, applied glow-in-the-dark tattoos and handed out goodies to the young trick-or-treaters. Thanks to the leadership of Betty Ann Kortlang, Drug Awareness Program and Youth Activities chair, the community event was a grand success. Close to 40 children and their families attended.
