We'll see you at GCM Trunk or Treat tomorrow! The grill, diner, and bar will all be open--and you better save room for our famous frozen custard between all those mini Snickers and Zagnuts. We'll also have 2 local food trucks on site, so come hungry!

🛻 Volunteers & Sponsors: Please arrive between 3:30 - 5:15 PM (see volunteer email for your time)! The gate will close for pedestrian safety promptly and you will not be admitted if you show up later than 5:15 PM. Candy is provided by Gordon Food Service, however if you bring your own, make sure it is SEALED as we inspect all bags of candy to be doled out to the little ghouls.

🧟‍♀️ Trunk or Treaters: Please arrive and park outside the museum campus grounds (our parking lots and overflow lots) at for entry on foot into the museum grounds at 5:30 PM. The event is from 5:30-7:30 PM.

This is a free event, however we do suggest a $5 donation. Thank you!!

Thanks to R.E. Olds Transportation Museum for lending us this iconic 1984 Cutlass Supreme in immaculate condition.

If you were around in the 80s, you saw this car everywhere—it was the ride of affordable luxury for so many middle class families back then, with its plush velveteen seats (did you cram 6 people in one ever?) and V8. This was the last year for the Hurst/Olds collaboration.

This is one of many new cars on display at the museum as a part of Defined by Design part 2. Make sure you come in and see these very cool cars before they're gone!

What do you remember about this car?
