The trick or treat event at ONU on Tuesday evening drew an estimated 500 Halloweeners and their parents to campus.
After registering in McIntosh Center, the children were led in small groups to the residence halls to collect candy before returning to McIntosh for a dinner and costume contest.
The popular annual event is coordinated by the Office of Residence Life with the dinner provided by Sodexo dining service.
As the evening wound down, a full, orange moon arose on the eastern horizon, a beautiful conclusion to this year’s campus trick or treat held in shirtsleeve weather.
