Little ghosts, pirates, and clowns can start planning now for the annual Trunk or Treat event sponsored by the Michigan State Police in downtown Alpena.

The MSP Alpena Post will host the event on Oct. 28 in the Alpena City Hall parking lot.

The event will begin at 5 p.m., to correspond with downtown trick-or-treating day planned for the same day, and end at 7 p.m.
