A local boy was able to collect his candy a day early in Thorold.

Hundreds of people rallied together for a trunk-or-treat event at Club Capri last night, for nine-year-old Carter Dery.

He living with a rare genetic condition and he has a surgery scheduled for today.

Dery dressed up as a Hamilton Tiger-Cats football player while trick-or-treating last night. He also got to meet Ti-Cats kicker Liram Hajrullahu.

Dery is planning on sharing his candy with other kids at McMaster Children's Hospital.

He'll also be going to the Grey Cup next month, if everything goes well.
