About 2,000 people attended the 13th annual Realty Executives Premiere Trunk or Treat on Oct. 24 near the company’s office at 113 Hilltop Village Center Drive in Eureka.
Organizer Kim Maher said about 50 area businesses and organizations handed out treats to children and offered small games and prizes.
Realty Executives Premiere agents gave away 1,100 hot dogs, along with free soda and water. The Eureka Culver’s gave away free custard.
“Everybody had a great time,” Maher said. “We had a beautiful day and a great turnout.”
Maher said her son, Charles, dressed as a hot dog while he worked the grill. She said the giveaway is “a whole operation,” with numerous volunteers needed to grill the dogs, put them in buns, wrap them up and serve them.
The event also features hayrides around the Hilltop Village Center parking lot. Maher said there was a long line for the hayrides.
Upcoming events
Realty Executives Premiere will organize two food drives this month to benefit three organizations.
Agents will be at the ALDI grocery store in Eureka, 1421 W. Fifth St., on Saturday, Nov. 21, and B&H Market in Pacific, 2244 W. Osage St., on Sunday, Nov. 22, to collect nonperishable food items.
The items will be donated to the Feed My People food pantry in High Ridge, Eureka Food Pantry and the Meramec Valley R-3 School District. Maher said the district cut the free breakfast program for students during the 2026-27 school year, and breakfast food items would be greatly appreciated.
On Saturday, Dec. 5, the agents will be at the High Ridge Walmart, 2700 Ridge Point Drive, to collect toys. Maher said the toys will be redistributed to the Jefferson County Foster Children’s Fund, St. Louis Children’s Hospital, local churches and other groups. The drive has been held for 25 years, she said.
