Neighborhoods surrounding the Webster Parish Library on East & West Street in Minden were inundated with vehicles and goblins of all ages and sizes on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025.

More than a thousand adults and children waited nearly two hours in a long line to participate in the “Trunk or Treating” activities, which included booths decorated with mechanical dragons, smokey haunted “booths,” every kind of Halloween costume in existence, and candy, candy, candy…

After the Trick or Treat tour, attendees were invited to experience the highlight of the evening, the “Haunted Library,” and hundreds took advantage of “having their wits scared out of them” for free!

Other branches of the Webster Parish Library also sponsored annual “Trunk or Treat” events, including Springhill.

Churches, fire departments, and organizations also sponsored evenings for safe Trick or Treating throughout the parish.
