What a fun evening! 🎃🐙

The Kraken Swim Team had a great time seeing everyone at Trunk or Treat! We loved watching so many kids try their hand at our ring toss game. With nearly 500 trick-or-treaters stopping by, it was a busy night!

Thanks to everyone who stopped to say hello, and to our Kraken volunteers who helped make the evening possible! 💙🏊‍♂️

No practice Thursday, October 29 as we will be supporting the Building Healthy Tigers event hosted by CHS FCCLA in conjunction with Trunk or Treat. Come by and see us!

Building Healthy Tigers is less than one week away!

In collaboration with STUCO’s Trunk or Treat, Building Healthy Tigers will have several health focused trunks with fun themes!

Some themes include:
* “Say Boo to the Flu” for sickness prevention
* Monster Mouth for dental health
* Halloween Hazard for street safety while trick or treating
* More!

Along with these trunks by FCCLA Members, make sure to stop at the following businesses tables who are participating in this event: Carthage Fire Department, Rise Fitness, Missouri State Highway Patrol, Carthage Mercy Pediatric Clinic, and Kraken Swim Team/ Fair Acres FamilyYMCA!

If you plan on going to Trunk or Treat, make a stop by Building Healthy Tigers!
