At the Mark Williams Automotive Group, community isn’t just part of what we do it’s who we are. Across all our dealerships, from Mt. Orab to Beechmont, our mission has always been to serve not just our customers, but the communities that support us every day.

This fall, we had the privilege of bringing that mission to life through our annual Trunk or Treat events family-friendly celebrations filled with creativity, laughter, and the true spirit of togetherness.

What started as a simple way to provide families with a safe and fun place to celebrate Halloween has grown into one of our most meaningful traditions. Thanks to the incredible support of local businesses, first responders, and nonprofit partners, this year’s events became an unforgettable showcase of partnership, purpose, and community pride.


A Celebration of Partnership and Purpose

Great things happen when great people come together and that’s exactly what made this year’s Trunk or Treats so special.

From decorated trunks and spooky setups to sweet treats and smiling faces, our dealership lots transformed into festive Halloween wonderlands. But beyond the costumes and candy, these events were about something bigger: collaboration. Together with our local partners, we worked toward a shared goal creating memories and strengthening the bonds that unite our towns.


Honoring Our Local Heroes

At Mt. Orab, we were honored to be joined by the Mt. Orab Fire Department and the Mt. Orab Police Department. These dedicated first responders go above and beyond to keep our community safe year-round and having them take part in Trunk or Treat made the evening even more special.

Over at Beechmont, our gratitude extends to the Union Township Fire Department, who also joined in the festivities. Families loved meeting these real-life heroes, exploring fire trucks, and learning about their essential work. Their involvement was a powerful reminder of what it means to serve with courage, commitment, and heart.


Agriculture Meets Community: Ag-Pro of Georgetown

Our friends at Ag-Pro of Georgetown brought some serious horsepower to the Mt. Orab celebration, showcasing their signature John Deere equipment. Kids couldn’t get enough of the tractors, and parents enjoyed connecting with one of the region’s leading agricultural partners.

Ag-Pro’s involvement was a perfect example of community values in action hardworking, neighborly, and proud of their Ohio roots.


A Touch of Movie Magic: The Cincinnati Ghostbusters

Who ya gonna call? The Cincinnati Ghostbusters joined both our Mt. Orab and Beechmont events, bringing movie magic to life! Their detailed costumes, iconic Ecto-1 vehicle, and infectious energy delighted guests of all ages.

More than just entertainment, their participation reminded us that joy and laughter are powerful ways to bring people together and they do it all for a good cause, supporting local charities and events year-round.


Spooky Fun: The Haunted Trailer

No Halloween celebration would be complete without a few thrills! The Haunted Trailer, organized by our friend Charlie and his team, was a crowd favorite at Mt. Orab. Families lined up for a mix of laughs and light scares, proving that a little spooky fun can go a long way toward building community spirit.


Supporting Local Causes: Animal Shelters That Make a Difference

We were proud to host both the Brown County Animal Shelter at Mt. Orab and the Clermont County Animal Shelter at Beechmont.

Each organization shared their mission to help local pets find loving homes and provided families with opportunities to learn about adoption and volunteering. Seeing guests connected with these wonderful causes reminds us how powerful compassion can be, especially when it comes to our four-legged friends.


A Taste of Fall: Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee Truck & Kona Ice

From Mt. Orab to Beechmont, Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee Truck kept everyone warm and happy with their handcrafted espresso, lattes, and seasonal favorites. Their presence added a cozy, hometown touch that perfectly fit the fall spirit.

At Beechmont, the team from Kona Ice brought cool treats and colorful fun to the mix  a sweet reminder that every season is better with a little flavor and a lot of smiles.


Community Favorites: Raising Cane’s, Quality Comfort, and More

We also want to extend a huge thank-you to Raising Cane’s and Quality Comfort & Home Services for being part of the Beechmont event. Their generosity and enthusiasm helped make the night even more memorable.

Their commitment to giving back reflects the same values we hold dear serving people with care, quality, and pride.


Empowering Every Individual: EmPath for Autism

Both events were made even more meaningful with the participation of EmPath for Autism, an organization that supports individuals with autism and their families. Their presence raised awareness and shared important resources with our guests.

We’re proud to stand beside EmPath in promoting inclusion, understanding, and empowerment throughout our communities.


Community Support from Sam’s Club

A big thank-you goes out to Sam’s Club for their generous support. From candy donations to event supplies, Sam’s Club helped ensure our Trunk or Treats ran smoothly and successfully at both locations.

Their partnership shows how much stronger we are when businesses come together to lift the communities they serve.


A Night to Remember

As the lights twinkled across both lots and laughter filled the air, our Trunk or Treat celebrations became something more than events, they became moments of connection, kindness, and community pride.

Seeing families smile, kids show off their costumes, and local partners come together reminded us why we love what we do. At the Mark Williams Auto Group, we’re not just in the car business, we’re in the business of community.

To everyone who participated, partnered, or simply stopped by to celebrate thank you. Your energy and support made these events unforgettable. We can’t wait to see you again next year as we continue driving community forward one trunk, one treat, and one smile at a time.
