Hosted by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee with support from the Olympic Regional Development Authority
The Olympic Regional Development Authority (Olympic Authority) and the United States Olympic & Paralympic Training Center (USOPTC) invite media to capture the fun and festive spirit of Halloween at the annual Trunk or Treat celebration in Lake Placid.
This community event brings together Olympic and Paralympic athletes, staff, and local schools for a morning of costumes, candy, and creativity. Students will visit themed and decorated vehicles, vote on athlete-carved jack-o’-lanterns, and enjoy meet-and-greets with athletes and staff. A coffee station will also be available to show appreciation for local teachers and school staff.
