What:  A Halloween Trunk or treat party
When: Thursday October 31st 2019. Halloween evening 6pm -9pm.
Where: 9901 Lomas Blvd. NE, Albuquerque, NM
How: Admission is simply a donation of a non perishable food item per person.
*which kicks off a fall food drive to be donated back to Charity.

Why: I attended this event for the first time last year and found out the people hosting, participating, and attending the event are fun, chill and pleasant. Plus who doesn't love a fun Halloween party which includes a sandwich, a jump house, music provided by a DJ, a game station, decorated trunks with candy provided by vendors that work in the community. Come meet the people behind the products. This event is not created to sell you products. It's to give a safe friendly environment for the kids, and to give back to the community.

Southwest Chocolate & Coffee Fest March 16-17, 2019

This event is great fun to attend even if you don't drink coffee. Shh don't tell anybody I feel like a spy. Did I mention they also have Chocolate in so many shapes, like the fiery food show with chocolate instead. It's a great opportunity to try lots of local grown stores, all down the row. Local beer and wine too. If you don't want to indulge in too much coffee and chocolate buy some as gifts. I think I read somewhere chocolate loses all calories when its a gift. I think it was a lie, but it sounded good to me.
The show runs 2 days only
