The 15th annual ’Roo Boo at Austin College, hosted by the local chapter of Alpha Phi Omega national service fraternity, will be held Wednesday, October 29, from 6 to 8 p.m. in Sid Richardson Center of the Robert T. Mason Athletic-Recreation Complex, off Brockett Street and just east of the football stadium. The event is held earlier than usual this fall due to Homecoming activities on the campus October 30 and 31.
Children 12 and younger are invited to wear their costumes to this free event. Parental supervision is required. Austin College Police will be on patrol during the event.
The event is a safe alternative to traditional trick-or-treating and will include many tables set up by campus organizations offering various games, booths, and prizes. Plenty of free candy is available for participants. Austin College student volunteers will be dressed in costume for the Halloween celebration.
