## About

Rockville City Police host a free Halloween-week evening at Welsh Park: children trunk-or-treat from officers' decorated vehicles, then families claim a spot on the grass for an outdoor showing of the Pixar film "Monsters, Inc." It is a gentle, preschool- and elementary-friendly way to celebrate two days before Halloween, with a G-rated movie rather than scares, and a chance for kids to meet local officers up close. The event runs from 6 to 9 p.m., so families with young children can come for the trunk-or-treat at the start and leave before the film ends. Bring costumes, a candy bag, and blankets or low chairs for the movie; dress warmly for an October evening outdoors. Questions go to the Rockville City Police Department at publicsafety@rockvillemd.gov.
