"Splash in the Boro is big about serving our community and events like these bring our community together. Some of our highlights this year are apple bobbing, our costume contest, and our haunted lazy river taking place later in the evening."

Furthermore, from our raffles, 100% of the proceeds will go to Georgia Kate Anderson. We also have a Coca-Cola truck and our Bull Ride proceeds, which will also be going to Georgia Kate Anderson as well."

"This is a super fun and safe way for local families in Statesboro to Trunk or Treat," stated Hannah Beggs, Executive Branch Director at the Statesboro Family YMCA.
"It is completely free and we have organizations and businesses come out from the community to help give out candy. This year we have some nutritionists present giving out fruit as an alternative for children. We have had so many families and children come through this year, that we had to go back to the store to purchase more candy. We will surpass last year's cap of 800 people, as several hundred families have already shown up to participate in our Trunk or Treat event this year."
