The Wrap

Manteca's downtown trunk or treat was a monster of a hit. More than 8,000 people turned out on Saturday, Oct. 31, almost double last year's record crowd of 4,000 to 5,000. Next year's event is already planned to stretch down the rest of Sycamore Avenue and Maple Street, all the way to Library Park. Plenty of room for more candy.
