RCC’s Trunk O’ Treat Success

Introduction:

At Reedsburg Country Club, we are all about celebrating the community and having a good time. On October 29th, 2023, we had a frightening event. Families in our community, members, and Halloween enthusiasts came together for a fun-filled day with candy and creativity.

Our Trunk O’ Treat event was nothing short of a hauntingly good time! Let’s dive into the chilling details of how we transformed our driving range into a Halloween wonderland.

Golf Carts with a Spooky Twist:

With the generous support of local businesses and RCC members, we decked out 15 golf carts in Halloween splendor. Each cart became a unique trunk filled with candy and treats for all the little ghouls and goblins.

We placed these spooky carts on our golf range where kids could walk from one to the next for some fun and safe trick-or-treating.

With this came some friendly competition to see who could create the most spooktacular cart, and our sponsors went all out! You can click here for a complete Trunk O Treat golf cart sponsor list.

Warmth in a Cup:

We kept our guests warm as the autumn chill settled in, and we experienced our first COLD weekend. We had hot cocoa and apple cider available for purchase, and wood fire pits stoked high. Sipping on these warm delights, guests could stay extra toasty while enjoying the festivities and fire pits!

Family-Friendly Halloween and Golf-Themed Yard Games:

Our Trunk O’ Treat was not only about getting candy but also about having fun with loved ones. We organized different Halloween-themed outdoor games. Including Pumpkin Putt-Putt, Gourd Ring Toss, Toss the Pumpkins, Tiny Pumpkin Tic Tac Toe, and a fall-themed selfie station. These games excited the event, and everyone had a howling good time!

Costume Contest Fun:

Our costume contest was a highlight of the day. We had three categories: one for families, one for older kids, and one for little kids. The competition was fierce, and the creativity was off the charts!

The winners received fantastic prizes. These prizes included:

• A $100 gift card and golf rounds for the winners of the family category.
• A Junior PGA golf scholarship for the older kids category for the 2024 season.
• A First Tee Golf Programs scholarship for the little kid’s category for the 2024 season.

The prizes allow new people to enjoy Reedsburg Country Club and give them a chance to enjoy the community at the club. These prizes also help introduce the sport to community members who haven’t played.

Giving Back to the Community:

We believe in the spirit of giving, especially during the Holiday season. So, along with the fun, we aimed to impact our community positively in more ways than one.

We encouraged guests to bring non-perishable food donations for our local Reedsburg Food Pantry. Thanks to the support of our attendees, we collected a significant amount of donations just from this event. Because of this, we have been able to help many families who are in need during this festive season.

A Record-Breaking Turnout:

We were thrilled to welcome over 250 kids and families to this event. Their enthusiastic participation and smiles made our Trunk O’ Treat a massive success. We’re genuinely grateful for the overwhelming support we received.

Looking Ahead to 2024:

We’re thrilled to grow next year’s Trunk O Treat event with more fun, more attendance, more carts, and more giving back! Stay tuned for updates, and mark your calendars because we promise it will be a celebration you won’t want to miss!

The 2023 Trunk O’ Treat event at Reedsburg Country Club was a thriving community gathering. This event was filled with creativity and community outreach, providing a fun experience for everyone involved. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our sponsors, members, and guests who made this event successful. Keep an eye out for updates on our 2024 centennial celebration, and get ready for another year of spooky fun at RCC!
