HAMMOND – Area children are invited to participate in Southeastern Louisiana University’s
11th annual Fall Carnival Saturday, Oct. 31, from 5-7 p.m.
The university’s Office of Multicultural and International Student Affairs, the
Black Student Union, 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 Eric Summers, assistant to the Vice
President for Student Affairs. “Our goal is to provide all of the typical traditions
of Halloween in a safe, carnival atmosphere.”
Summers 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, face painting,
and much more.
Parents and guardians are asked to accompany their children throughout the evening.
