Halloween Fest 2014

Halloween occurred on Friday this year but Texas A&M International University began the treating early. On Thursday, October 30th, TAMIU held its annual Halloween Fest on the Fine and Performance Arts green as the final activity of its Wicked Wellness Week.

The festival began at 5:00 p.m. and continued until 10:00pm. TAMIU clubs including The Artisans, The Dance Club, The Student Nurses Association, and Sigma Tau Delta, the English Honor Society club, to name a few, were on hand to provide fun games and treats.

The feast was open to the public and they invited them to bring their children for some fun including a costume contest. There was also a separate costume contest for TAMIU students along with some other fun activities like a “Find the Worms” contest where contestants needed to find gummy worms from a bowl of chocolate pudding and a Monster Dance Off. The Dance Club members also performed a dance to Michael Jackson’s Thriller, a Halloween staple song, and TAMIU Campus Activities Board, who collaborated with TAMIU Division of Student Success for the other activities held during the week, were the emcees of the event. They were even able to get the crowd to dance “The Wobble” towards the end of the night.

All in all, the fest was a great way to celebrate Halloween and end its Wicked Wellness Week. As this is an annual event and you missed this year’s event, don’t worry because there is still next year.
