Halloween at the Farm by the Class Officer Collective

When: Friday, Oct. 29, 6-8 p.m.

A campus tradition, Halloween at the Farm is one of the defining events for the season, always kickstarting the Halloween weekend. Usually held at the University Farm, this year’s event will be on campus at the East Bell Commons with a new bevy of fall activities. From painting glow in the dark pumpkins with neon paint, to “touch tunnels” to stick your hand in a box and surprise your senses, there is plenty of fun to be had and prizes to be won. Refreshments will include pumpkin donuts and apple cider, providing all the sustenance they need to continue on in this chilly environment. So come on down and enjoy some fun music, giveaways and holiday spirit.
