McCormick’s Creek Invites Community to “Trunk or Treat” Party on October 23

SPENCER, Ind. (Oct. 22, 2026) – The community is invited to join the fun at McCormick’s Creek Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center for its annual “Trunk-or-Treat” celebration on Friday, October 23, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., in the parking lot of the skilled nursing facility at 210 State Highway 43, in Spencer, Ind.

The event will be held rain or shine.

Halloween festivities will feature creatively decorated car trunks where McCormick’s Creek staff will distribute candy to trick-or-treaters. Visiting guests can also enjoy complimentary snacks, including cider, popcorn, and chips, throughout the event.

Children and their families are invited to participate in the Halloween spirit by dressing in their favorite costumes while enjoying the spooky, family friendly fun. The facility’s staff will also be in costume.

“We enjoy celebrating the fall season with our residents and neighbors each year,” said Sara Hatfield, executive director of McCormick’s Creek Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center. “Special events such as this allow us to strengthen community ties while creating lasting memories for our residents and neighbors.”

Everyone is encouraged to bring a bag, pillow case, or pumpkin basket to collect treats from decorated cars. “This event is always well-received by the community, and our staff enjoys dressing up in their favorite costumes,” said Hatfield. “This is one of the many events we hold throughout the year to stay connected with our neighbors. From a holiday light display and spring visits with the Easter Bunny to clothing drives, school supply collections, and other community activities, we’re delighted to create opportunities for families to come together and build stronger connections.

Staff members will gather in the McCormick’s Creek parking lot with their creatively decorated vehicles, where children can go from car to car, collecting Halloween candy. The skilled nursing facility will provide free treats and snacks.
