PuroClean of The Big Island 
The spirit of giving is alive and glowing brighter than ever in our little town of Hilo! On the evening of October 29th, 2025, St. Joseph School transformed its campus into a Halloween wonderland for its first-ever Tent or Treat — and the turnout was nothing short of amazing! Families came from all corners of town, little ghouls and superheroes in tow, ready for a night of laughter, sweets, and community spirit.
Of course, PuroClean of The Big Island was right there in the middle of the fun — tent up, lights on, and candy bowls overflowing! Our team went all out with a spooky-fun decorated tent that not only handed out mountains of candy but also gave away finger lights, small toys, and smiles to every trick-or-treater who stopped by. The kids’ excitement was contagious — glow lights were flashing, laughter echoed through the air, and it felt like the whole town was wrapped in one big Halloween hug.
The event kicked off at 5 p.m. and ran until 6:30, but the energy could’ve easily lasted all night. The school grounds were buzzing with creativity and joy. There was a costume contest that had the crowd cheering as princesses, pirates, aliens, and dinosaurs strutted their stuff. Meanwhile, the best decorated tent contest brought out some serious Halloween artistry — from jailhouses to candy castles, every tent was its own mini attraction. And yes, PuroClean’s tent definitely turned some heads!
The fun didn’t stop there. Games, activities, and photo ops popped up in every corner, making it impossible not to smile. Even the local media showed up to capture the magic — Nā Leo TV was on-site, interviewing excited students, proud faculty, and a few of the shining stars of the night, including Miss Hawai‘i Island’s Teen 2025, Olga Lehua, who helped bring even more sparkle to the event.
But what really made Tent or Treat so special wasn’t just the costumes, the candy, or the contests — it was the feeling of community. Everyone came together, from local businesses and volunteers to families and students, to make sure every keiki left with full candy bags and even fuller hearts.
And just when you thought the giving couldn’t get any sweeter, one generous local farmer began handing out freshly grown sweet potatoes out of his trailer to anyone who wanted some.
In true Hilo fashion, the simple act of giving reminded everyone what this town is all about — kindness, community, and aloha in action.
For PuroClean of The Big Island, being part of this event was more than just fun — it was an honor. Supporting local schools and joining hands with the community is at the heart of what we do. Seeing the smiles on all those little faces (and a few big ones, too!) made every bit of effort worth it.
As the sun set on a night of laughter, light, and plenty of sugar rushes, one thing was clear: Tent or Treat was a huge success! PuroClean of The Big Island was ecstatic to be part of it and can’t wait to do it all again next year — bigger, brighter, and even more spirited.
Because in Hilo, Halloween isn’t just about treats… it’s about togetherness. 🌺👻🍬
