5 Trick or Treating Alternatives to Keep the Kids Warm

If you're looking to escape the cold weather but still participate in Halloween activities with the kiddos tonight, you're in luck. We've got a list of Halloween alternatives that'll keep you and the kids entertained and hopefully warm!

1. Trick or Treat at the Crossroads mall tonight from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Kids 12 and under will be able to grab a few treats from participating stores that display a pumpkin in their store window.

2. Trunk or Treat in the Westwood Church parking lot from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Yes, it's outside, but you'll be able to get more candy in a shorter period of time. So, instead of taking an hour going door to door outside, you'll be able to zip through the parking lot in 30 minutes.

3. Kid's Halloween Day at Sauk Rapids Coborns kicks off at 3 p.m. and goes until 7 p.m. Kids 12 and under can trick or treat throughout the store. The bakery is hosting ghost cupcake decorating, there's a costume contest and other events happening throughout the store.

4. Huskies Cinema at St. Cloud State University is holding a free screening of 'Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark' for the older kids, teens and adults. The movie gets underway at 8 p.m. in the SCSU Atwood Memorial Center.

5. Trick or Treat at Edgewood, a nursing home in Sartell, tonight from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The seniors will be passing out candy to the kids who must be accompanied by an adult.
