Annual Halloween Celebration Offers Fun for Families, Kids
Community Invited to Vista Grande Rehab & Healthcare Center Free “Trunk or Treat” Party on October 31st
The community is invited to join Vista Grande Rehab & Healthcare Center for its annual “Trunk-or-Treat” celebration. The free event will be held on Friday, Oct. 31st, from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., in the parking lot of the skilled nursing facility at 680 E. Hospital Dr. in Cortez, Colo.
The Halloween-themed activities will feature decorated car trunks where Vista Grande Rehab staff and residents, many in costume, will hand out candy for the trick-or-treaters. In addition, free snacks such as cider, popcorn, and chips will be available for visiting children and their families.
“We enjoy celebrating the fall season with our residents and families in the community,” said Carla Lydic, administrator of Vista Grande Rehab. “This annual event combines Halloween fun and community spirit, making it a special tradition for everyone. Each year, we look forward to welcoming local families and creating lasting memories.”
Everyone is encouraged to bring a bag, pillowcase, or pumpkin basket to collect treats. “Our staff looks forward to welcoming community members while decked out in their favorite costumes,” said Lydic. “This event is part of our year-round tradition of community engagement. From a holiday light display in December to visits with the Easter Bunny in spring, along with clothing drives, school supply collections, and other activities, we’re proud to offer opportunities that bring families together and strengthen community connections."
“It’s an additional opportunity for trick-or-treating, allowing kids to enjoy Halloween longer,” said Lydic. “It's also a great way to show off costumes, and every year we see very creative ideas.”
Please call 970-564-1122 with questions about the Trick-or-Treat event. Reservations are not required, and the event will be held rain or shine.
