Candy, Cars & Community: Trunk or Treat 2025!

At Mark Williams Auto Group, community is the heart of everything we do. This fall, our dealerships once again opened their doors for our annual Trunk or Treat celebrations, bringing together families, friends, and neighbors from across southern Ohio. The events at both Mt. Orab and Beechmont reflected what we value most: connection, kindness, and the shared pride that comes from being part of something bigger than ourselves.

What started as a small way to give local families a safe and exciting place to celebrate Halloween has grown into a cherished tradition that captures the spirit of who we are. The parking lots at Mark Williams Auto Group were transformed into lively spaces filled with creative costumes, decorated trunks, and the laughter of children. More than just a night of fun, Trunk or Treat has become a meaningful reminder that when people come together, wonderful things happen.

Local Heroes Join the Celebration

Our Mt. Orab Trunk or Treat was made even more special thanks to the presence of the Mt. Orab Fire Department and Mt. Orab Police Department. These local heroes dedicate themselves to protecting and serving our town every day. Families had the opportunity to meet the firefighters and police officers, explore emergency vehicles, and learn more about the work these men and women do to keep our community safe. Their involvement was a highlight of the evening, offering children an up-close look at real life heroes and giving parents a sense of pride in the people who serve our town.

At our Beechmont event, we were honored to welcome the Union Township Fire Department, whose team brought enthusiasm, kindness, and a strong sense of community spirit. Their participation reminded everyone how important it is to celebrate those who give so much of themselves to keep others safe.

Ag-Pro of Georgetown Showcases Community Strength

Another highlight of the Mt. Orab celebration was the participation of Ag-Pro of Georgetown, one of the leading agricultural suppliers in the region. Ag-Pro brought an impressive display of John Deere tractors and equipment that fascinated children and parents alike. Their team shared insights about the essential role agriculture plays in our community and how they support local farmers throughout the year. The presence of Ag-Pro added an important local touch, connecting guests to the values of hard work and commitment that southern Ohio is known for.

The Cincinnati Ghostbusters Bring Movie Magic

The Cincinnati Ghostbusters team brought incredible excitement to both our Mt. Orab and Beechmont locations. Their authentic costumes, iconic Ecto-1 vehicle, and enthusiasm lit up the evening. Guests of all ages were thrilled to meet them, take photos, and relive the nostalgia of a beloved movie. Beyond the fun, the Cincinnati Ghostbusters use their love for films to raise awareness and funds for community causes. Their participation at Trunk or Treat was a perfect example of how creativity and generosity can come together to make people smile.

The Haunted Trailer Delivers Halloween Thrills

Every Halloween needs a good scare, and the Haunted Trailer provided exactly that. Families lined up to experience this creative, family-friendly attraction that combined spooky fun with plenty of laughter. It became one of the most talked-about features of the night and reminded everyone that Halloween is about imagination and community joy.

Supporting Local Animal Shelters

Our events also focused on giving back to organizations that make a real difference. At Mt. Orab, the Brown County Animal Shelter joined us to share their mission of rescuing and rehoming animals in need. At Beechmont, we were proud to host the Clermont County Animal Shelter, whose dedicated team helps countless pets find loving families each year. Guests had the chance to learn about adoption, volunteering, and how small acts of kindness can have a lasting impact. It was heartwarming to see families engaging with these organizations and showing support for their important work.

Coffee, Treats, and Sweet Memories

No community celebration would be complete without great food and drinks, and this year’s Trunk or Treat had plenty to offer. Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee Truck was a crowd favorite at both locations, serving handcrafted drinks that perfectly matched the crisp autumn weather. Guests enjoyed warm coffee, espresso, and seasonal lattes while mingling with neighbors and visiting each trunk.

At our Beechmont event, Kona Ice joined in with refreshing shaved ice treats that added a splash of color and fun to the evening. Children and adults alike lined up to enjoy their favorite flavors while celebrating the season.

Raising Cane’s and Quality Comfort and Home Services also partnered with us at Beechmont, contributing to the warm, welcoming atmosphere that made the event such a success. Their commitment to community involvement reflects the same values we hold dear at Mark Williams Auto Group.

Promoting Inclusion with EmPath for Autism

We were proud to welcome EmPath for Autism to both events. This local organization is dedicated to empowering individuals with autism and providing support for their families. Their participation helped raise awareness about inclusion and acceptance, and many guests took time to learn about their programs and services. EmPath for Autism’s mission aligns perfectly with our belief that every member of our community deserves understanding and opportunity.

A Special Thank You to Sam’s Club

Our Trunk or Treat celebrations would not have been possible without the generous support of Sam’s Club. Their team provided candy, supplies, and assistance that helped make both events a success. Their ongoing partnership is a great example of how businesses can work together to create positive experiences for local families.

A Night to Remember

As the evening came to an end, the twinkling lights, laughter, and smiles told the story of another successful year. The Mark Williams Auto Group Trunk or Treat events were more than just festive gatherings; they were celebrations of unity and appreciation. Watching children show off their costumes, parents enjoying time with friends, and local businesses and organizations working side by side was a powerful reminder of what makes our communities so special.

At Mark Williams Auto Group, we are committed to being more than a place to buy a car. We are a part of the neighborhoods we serve. Whether it is Mt. Orab, Beechmont, or beyond, we will continue to support the people and organizations that make southern Ohio such a wonderful place to live and work.

To everyone who joined us, volunteered, or partnered with us this year, thank you for helping make Trunk or Treat 2025 unforgettable. Your enthusiasm and kindness are what keep our community strong. We are already looking forward to next year, when we can once again bring together families, local heroes, and community partners for a celebration of everything that makes this region so special.
