Each year the Dubuque County Fairgrounds and Event Center hosts a safe trick-or-treating event in their parking lot.  It's call Trunk or Treat.  This year's event is Thursday, October 20th from 5:30 to 7 pm. The concept is very simple.  Youngsters can walk the fairgrounds parking lot collecting treats from vehicles staffed by area businesses and decorated for Halloween (these are known as "Trunkers")
