Dressed as a Coneheaded extraterrestrial, James Jeske, of Coral Isles Church, welcomes trick or treaters to the alien themed trunk.

Decorated vehicle trunks lined the road at Founders Park beach in Islamorada. Kids dressed to their favorite superheroes, horror characters, princesses and other costumes packed their candy bags during the fourth annual Trunk or Treat on Oct. 22. The free, family event saw kids painting pumpkins and enjoying an inflatable slide. Children paraded the beach area in their costumes as part of a parade, and a DJ booth had kids dancing.
