Trick-or-treating, but on wheels.

The city of Ormond Beach hosted its first-ever drive-thru "Halloween Highway" event on Saturday, Oct. 24, where a long line of cars waited to enter the Ormond Beach Sports Complex from both directions on U.S. 1. The drive-thru trunk or treat featured over 30 vendors and groups of city personnel, all stationed around the complex ready to hand out candy to the passing cars.
