Every year, children from the community look forward to dressing up as their favorite character for the day. Even parents dressed up with their children for the event. Children dressed as teenage mutant ninja turtles, mermaids and the poop emoji were smiling as they received candy from students.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>\u201cIt was really nice to see so many kids from the community come out. So many kids showed up that we even ran out of candy,\u201d Park Hall Residence Assistant Lydia Tilley said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Residents from Merriman Hall decorated their building as a Haunted House for the children. Park Hall\u2019s first floor was themed Candyland, the second floor was themed Spooky Balloon Walk and the third floor was themed Animals. Many students greeted the children while also wearing costumes. There was even a competition for best decorated floor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>\u201cI love Halloween and this event really brought the community and UMPI together for this great holiday,\u201d freshman Sasha Davis said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Children left the event with buckets full of candy and smiles on their faces.
