We have a genius in our midst.  I'm not sure who you are or how you came up with the idea of walking in a parking lot, trunk to trunk, rather than door to door, but parents should give you a bag of candy as a reward.  If you are looking for that type of fun this Halloween season, check out the HUGE list below of family-friendly fun in Southeast Minnesota this year.

Trunk-or-Treats Were Created Because of the Halloween in 1991

In Minnesota, Halloween night could be 70 degrees or 20 degrees with snow.  I've trick-or-treated in both and I've walked around neighborhoods with my kids in some nasty weather.  I am also one of the kids who remembers the Halloween of 1991, when an epic storm hit Iowa and Minnesota.

The '90s was a time when parents let kids go outside and wander...without cell phones...without life360...we just said we were going outside to play, and that was it.  Halloween night, my siblings and I put on our horrific, plastic '90s Halloween costumes and ventured out to get some candy.  I remember it was cold and it was rainy, but we got our stash of candy!  Good thing too because our house was one of the 80,000 in Iowa that lost power due to the ice storm and we didn't get it back for a few weeks.
