Revving Up the Halloween Spirit: Mark Williams Auto Group’s Trunk or Treat!

• 

Every fall, the Mark Williams Auto Group celebrates more than just the changing leaves and crisp air. We celebrate community. Our annual Trunk or Treat events at Mt. Orab and Beechmont have become beloved local traditions that bring families, organizations, and businesses together for a night filled with laughter, creativity, and kindness.

At Mark Williams Auto Group, we believe in more than selling cars. We believe in driving community forward. Our dealerships serve as gathering places where people can connect, enjoy themselves, and strengthen the bonds that make southern Ohio such a special place to live. This year’s Trunk or Treat events once again proved how meaningful it is when local partners work together toward a shared purpose.

A Family-Friendly Celebration

From the moment the first trunk opened to the last piece of candy handed out, the atmosphere was filled with excitement and joy. Families arrived in creative costumes, ready to explore, take photos, and enjoy an evening designed for all ages. Every decorated vehicle and participating vendor added something special to the experience, turning our dealership lots into vibrant centers of Halloween fun.

The Mt. Orab Fire Department and Mt. Orab Police Department joined us once again, giving children the chance to meet the heroes they look up to. Fire trucks and police vehicles were open for exploration, and the men and women who serve our community took time to answer questions and share safety tips. Their participation was an important reminder of how dedicated our local first responders are to protecting the people they serve.

At Beechmont, the Union Township Fire Department brought that same community spirit. Families were thrilled to meet the team, explore their equipment, and thank them for all they do throughout the year. These first responders represent the heart of community service, and we were proud to have them join us.

Local Businesses That Make a Difference

Our Trunk or Treat celebrations would not be possible without the support of outstanding local partners. Ag-Pro of Georgetown joined our Mt. Orab event with an impressive John Deere tractor. Guests were fascinated by the tractor, and children enjoyed climbing aboard while learning how agriculture keeps our region strong. Ag-Pro embodies the hard work and dedication that define southern Ohio, and their presence helped show the connection between local business and community life.

At both locations, the Cincinnati Ghostbusters were crowd favorites. Their movie-quality costumes and iconic Ecto-1 vehicle created an unforgettable photo opportunity. Guests of all ages loved their enthusiasm and attention to detail. The Ghostbusters have become well-known throughout the Cincinnati area for attending charitable events, and their participation at Trunk or Treat brought smiles to everyone they met.

Charlie and his Haunted Trailer team delivered the perfect blend of spooky fun and family-friendly entertainment. Their creative haunted experience was one of the most popular parts of the evening, proving that Halloween thrills can be both exciting and accessible for all ages.

We also want to thank the Brown County Animal Shelter and the Clermont County Animal Shelter for joining us. Their teams shared inspiring stories of animal rescue and adoption, encouraging visitors to consider giving a pet a forever home. Seeing families connected with these organizations was one of the most rewarding parts of the night.

Sweet Treats and Local Flavor

No community event is complete without good food and great coffee, and our Trunk or Treat celebrations were full of both. Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee Truck served handcrafted drinks that brought warmth and comfort to guests throughout the evening. Their locally brewed coffee has become a favorite among families in our area, and it was wonderful to have them share their passion once again.

Kona Ice joined our Beechmont event with its signature shaved ice treats that delighted kids and adults alike. The cheerful colors and variety of flavors made their truck one of the busiest stops of the night.

We also want to recognize Raising Cane’s and Quality Comfort and Home Services for their continued partnership. Their involvement and generosity help make our community events possible, and their commitment to customer care reflects the same values that guide our dealerships every day.

Supporting Inclusion and Awareness

EmPath for Autism played an important role in both our Trunk or Treat events this year. Their mission to support children with autism and their families aligns closely with our belief in creating events that are welcoming and inclusive for everyone. EmPath provided valuable resources and information to guests, helping raise awareness and promoting understanding within our community.

Giving Thanks to Sam’s Club

A heartfelt thank you goes to Sam’s Club for their generous support. Their donations of candy, supplies, and event materials helped make both the Mt. Orab and Beechmont Trunk or Treats a success. Their willingness to give back to the community is a reflection of true partnership, and we deeply appreciate their continued collaboration.

A Night of Joy and Togetherness

As the evening came to a close and the last trunk lights faded, one feeling remained: gratitude. Every smile, every laugh, and every handshake reminded us why community involvement matters so much. Our Trunk or Treat celebrations are about more than Halloween. They are about connections. They are about showing what can happen when local organizations, families, and businesses unite for a common purpose.

At Mark Williams Auto Group, we are honored to play a part in that. Whether it is hosting community events, supporting local causes, or simply providing a welcoming space for neighbors to gather, we are dedicated to giving back. These celebrations reflect the values that drive us: service, kindness, and teamwork.

We thank everyone who attended, volunteered, and partnered with us to make this year’s Trunk or Treat events so memorable. Your support continues to inspire us every day. We look forward to next year, when we can once again bring families together for another celebration of community spirit and togetherness across Mt. Orab, Beechmont, and beyond.
