University to host Trick-or-Treat event Oct. 28

Friends University is inviting local ghosts, goblins, fairy princesses, superheroes and more to its annual Trick-or-Treat Off the Street event from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 28 starting at Friends Village, 628 S. Hiram Ave.

Children 12 and younger accompanied by their guardians will play games and collect candy throughout the University’s residence halls. A map of doors to knock on will be provided at the event.

“This is a safe way to have a great trick-or-treating experience while also getting to interact with Friends University students,” said Brett McLaughlin, coordinator of residence life for Friends University. “There are also other activities throughout our facilities so children can enjoy those as well. We had around 300 guests last year and hope for another great turnout this year.”

Friends University offers high-quality undergraduate and graduate academic programs for traditional students and working adults. Rooted both in the liberal arts tradition and the Christian tradition, students learn inside and outside the classroom. Friends University is a regional university with national programs and an international presence.
