Halloween is just a few days away. The excitement began in July, if I remember correctly. The Disney theme parks start putting up decorations and hosting parties in August. Oh well, many people love getting into the Halloween spirit!

A Halloween event that has become very popular is trunk-or-treat. And once again this year (2026), all Matthews Auto locations are hosting trunk-or-treat events. This year, these events will be held on Friday, October 30th from 3 to 6 pm.

Each Matthews dealership will have its showroom decorated for Halloween, and a vehicle will be filled with loads of candy and treats in a safe environment. The community is invited to stop by for free cider and donuts and register to win prizes.

Matthews has 16 locations, including Vestal, Norwich, Syracuse, Schenectady, Clay, and Greece in New York State, and Great Bend, Blakely, and Peckville in Pennsylvania. For a list of addresses for the Matthews dealership nearest you, visit the Matthews Auto website.

Even Matthews employees will be joining in on the fun as they dress up to compete for the Best Decorated Trunk and Best Employee Costume.
