[Saipan, CNMI] The Joeten-Kiyu Public Library is thrilled to announce the winners of its 2025 Annual Community Trunk or Treat event, a fun-filled evening that brought together families, organizations, and community members for a safe and creative Halloween celebration.
This year’s Best Trunk (People’s Choice) award was presented to Coca-Cola Beverage Micronesia, Inc., whose creative and interactive display captured the hearts of attendees and earned an impressive 259 community votes. Their “stand-in” photo frame proved to be a crowd favorite, as families lined up to snap fun and spooky pictures together throughout the evening.
The Best Family Costume Contest winner was awarded to the Winkfield Family, who wowed the crowd with their beautifully themed costumes inspired by the movie Moana 2. Their creativity truly embodied the spirit of the event.
“This event continues to bring our community together each year in a celebration of creativity, family fun, and local spirit,” said Erlinda C. Naputi, JKPL Library Director. “We are grateful for everyone who joined us and made this year’s Annual Community Trunk or Treat another memorable experience.”
