Summary

The commission approved use of the county complex parking lot for the 13th annual Trunk or Treat and granted a civic rate for a Quincy Police Charitable Foundation golf tournament that will raise funds for local initiatives.

Norfolk County commissioners on Aug. 27 approved two event-related requests for county property and services: permission for the Dedham Square Circle to hold the 13th annual "Trunk or Treat" on Oct. 25, 2025, in the county complex parking lot (with a rain date of Oct. 26), and a request from the Quincy Police Charitable Foundation for a civic rate at Presidents’ Golf Course for a September 22 golf tournament.

These approvals matter because both events use county facilities and services and are intended to raise funds and support community programming.

Staff said the trunk-or-treat request was routine and that the event organizers have used the parking lot in prior years; the requested hours were 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. with the event itself running from roughly 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the request subject to coordination with facilities staff. For the Quincy Police Charitable Foundation request, staff said the foundation is a registered nonprofit seeking the county’s civic rate for a fundraiser to support local initiatives; commissioners granted the requested rate.

Ending: Staff will connect both event organizers with facilities staff to finalize logistics and requirements for use of the county parking lot and golf course privileges.
