SUMMARY: The TK Martin Center for Technology and Disability at Mississippi State is hosting its annual Trick or Trot event, a family-friendly walk centered around Halloween festivities. Taking place tomorrow, registration begins at 9:00 a.m., with the event starting at 10:00 a.m. Participants can register on-site or online. Although there is a small registration fee, funds raised will benefit the center’s special education programs, which support 45-50 students. With over 40 cheering stations, families can enjoy a one-mile loop while gathering treats. The goal is to raise about $30,000 to help cover therapy costs for students.
