Trunk or Treat & Fall Fest Boasts Huge Turnout

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Trunk or Treat & Fall Fest! We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful fall day or a better turnout. Seeing so many families, friends, and neighbors come together to celebrate the season made this year’s event a record success! We can’t wait to do it again next year.

A special thank you to our dedicated Township staff, whose hard work and preparation helped make the day possible. We’re also grateful to our first responders from Shawnee Fire Company, Marshalls Creek Fire Company, and Bushkill Emergency Corps for joining us and supporting our community.

This year also marked our first partnership with Stroud Recreation for Movies in the Park! We were thrilled to cap off the festivities with a special outdoor showing of Hocus Pocus, and we look forward to more opportunities to collaborate. We likewise appreciate the collaboration with Smithfield Elementary PTO.

Most importantly, thank you to our wonderful community for making this event so memorable. Days like these are a reminder of what makes Smithfield such a special place to live, work, and play.
