This Thursday, prepare to see a host of ghosts, princesses, superheroes and witches on the UW campus.
On Oct. 28th from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., children in the Laramie community will have the opportunity to wear their Halloween costumes, collect candy and participate in various activities around campus at Safe Treat.
The event, which is hosted by multiple organizations including Residence Life and Dining Services and Fraternity and Sorority Life, will take place in the lower level of Washakie Dining Center and the Fraternity and Sorority Mall.
Safe Treat has been a popular event among community members for the past several years.
Cheyna Bradshaw, President of the UW Panhellenic Council, says that she looks forward to the Safe Treat event.
Bradshaw said that Safe Treat is an opportunity for the Fraternity and Sorority houses “to provide a fun, safe way for kids to go trick or treating” as well as a chance for students to get to know the Laramie community.
Bradshaw said that all of the houses will host activities like bean bag toss games, coloring pages, and pin the tail on the cat.
“We also do our best to make sure there are different activities at every location,” Bradshaw said.
Bradshaw says that Safe Treat is an opportunity for trick-or-treaters to avoid the cold weather Laramie often experiences.
“Safe Treat provides the opportunity to come inside and warm up while having fun and getting candy,” Bradshaw said.
In the lower level of Washakie, more activities will be hosted by Residence life and dining services, including more games and candy.
Residence hall staff, community senates, and the Residential Housing Association will all host activities for the participants.
Along with these events, Washakie Dining Center will also be holding a Halloween dinner for Safe Treat Participants.
The meal will include Halloween-themed dishes and desserts like caramel apples and cotton candy. The price is $14 for adults and $10 for children ages 12 and under.
