    Trick or Treating on Minelusa Boulevard is always fun for me and my kids and my fiance to attend. Every year on the islands of the boulevard they have special trick or treating fun that’s free and put together by residents of Minelusa. There’s free hot dogs, hot cocoa and other stuff available too. Along with fun games for the kiddos. Parking is usually the only thing we have issues with.
