Trick-or-Treat in Gauting

Gift-giving goblins are invited to trick-or-treat on Saturday, October 21, in and around Gauting. For the first time, this annual event will be charity oriented. Donated gifts for three- to six- year olds will be distributed to children in Poland and the Republic of Georgia for Christmas by Pro Toto, a Munich-based charitable organization.
The fun begins at 17:00 at the Buchendorf Sportplatz (Neuriedstr.), where maps are distributed and toys collected. At 17:30, kids can take a haunted hayride through the woods followed by, from 18:00-20:30, trick-or-treating at those neighborhood houses lit with Jack-o-lanterns. Those who are from outside the Gauting area are asked to bring a bag or two of candy to one of the participating homes to share. For more information and to RSVP (by October 6) call Shari Kermer at (089) 8930 9834. To get there take the S6 to Gauting, then a taxi to Buchendorf. Remember to take your flashlight and happy haunting!
