     HAMMOND – Area children are invited to participate in Southeastern Louisiana University’s 13th annual Fall Carnival Tuesday, Oct. 31, from 5-7 p.m.
     The university’s Office of Multicultural and International Student Affairs, the Black Student Union, Office for Student Engagement and Recreational Sports and Wellness are sponsoring the event in conjunction with Trick or Treat with the Greeks, which is coordinated by the Office of Student Engagement.
     Both events are scheduled on the lawn of Southeastern’s Pennington Student Activity Center, located at 1350 N. General Pershing, and are free of charge.
     “This is our annual service effort,” said Marjorie Parker, coordinator of Multicultural and International Student Affairs. “Our goal is to provide all of the typical traditions of Halloween in a safe, carnival atmosphere.”
     Parker said both events provide safe alternatives to traditional neighborhood door-to-door trick-or-treating and are free for the general public. Although children of all ages are invited to the festivities, the event targets children in kindergarten through fourth grade and will include games with prizes, candy, spacewalks, a balloon artist, and much more.
     Parents and guardians are asked to accompany their children throughout the evening. For more information, call 985-549-5703 or email multicultural@southeastern.edu.
