Communications director Karen Murphy told council the fifth annual trunk-or-treat at Anthos Brennan Park had its largest turnout — about 2,500 attendees — with 39 trunks and extensive city and business support.

Karen Murphy, the city’s communications and marketing director, briefed the council on the fifth annual trunk-or-treat at Anthos Brennan Park, reporting 'around 2,500' attendees and 39 participating trunks, including seven from city departments.

Murphy said the event added live music and large Halloween decorations this year thanks to sponsor support, and she recognized city staff and volunteers who handled setup, teardown and safety. She said the city departments that participated included city hall, animal control, the fire and police departments, parks and recreation, and emergency management.

Murphy told council the Tahlequah Outlaws raised nearly $400 at the event and that the turnout reflected strong community engagement; she closed by thanking council and staff for support and saying early planning is already underway for next year. No council action was required; this item was a presentation and recognition.
