In regular business before the board the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved, the current bills were reviewed and approved for payment, and the financial statement reviewed. Floydada's Trunk or Treating and Costume Contest is scheduled for Saturday, October 30th. The success of the Halloween venture will depend on the amount of help received by the Floydada Chamber of Commerce. Vehicles are parked around the jogging path of the park across the street from Floydada High School. Children safely walk the path and gather their candy from volunteers giving candy out from the trunks of their cars.
Parents can also register their children anytime at the chamber office.
While you are at the chamber office be sure and browse their wide selection of promotional shirts and caps. Tattoos and carving kits are also available. Anyone interested in donating money or time to the Trunk or Treat event should call 983-3434.
