Approximately 65 young children will dress up in their Halloween best for morning and afternoon “Trick or Treating Parades” on the MTSU campus today. The children, students at MTSU’s Project Help, will visit with staff, students, faculty and visitors to collect sweet treats and costume compliments. About half the children will parade around MTSU’s Quad on the east side of campus beginning at 9 a.m. and then head to the University’s Naked Eye Observatory around 10 for a final round. The afternoon group will reverse the route, beginning their parade at 1:30 p.m. at the Observatory and ending at the Quad around 2 to 2:30 p.m.
Please note: In the event of rain on Oct. 31, the parade(s) will be canceled.
