Grossman Commons came alive last Thursday for the Chill+Thrill Halloween Bash, an eerie, yet joyful event filled with costumes, music, and treats.
Students gathered among caution tape and spider webs to enjoy free chili, desserts, and popcorn while joining in carnival-style games and a costume contest. From Wednesday Addams to Lady Liberty, the range of costumes brought added color and excitement to the event. With music, laughter, and the scent of fresh popcorn in the air, the Halloween Bash offered students a fun way to relax and get into the spooky Halloween spirit together.
