500+ Halloweeners + a polar bear + Santa Claus
Story and photos by Monty Siekerman
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.
Halloween events continue with the door-to-door village trick or treat set for 5:30-7:30 Thursday. The Ada Public Library will have a pizza party, the fire department will offer hotdogs, and Vancrest asks trick or treaters to stop by there on Thursday.
