Just about every child wishes door-to-door Halloween candy handouts happened more than once a year. The residence halls at the University of Wisconsin-Stout in Menomonie are making that wish come true.
UW-Stout’s North campus residence halls are holding a trick-or-treat night for community children from 5:30 to 7 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 28. Children are encouraged to don costumes and visit Jeter-Tainter-Callahan, Fleming, Hovlid, Wigen and Red Cedar Halls for treats and fun.
North campus residence halls are located on Broadway Avenue between 1st and 4th avenues. Red Cedar Hall is located on 2nd Street, between 1st and 3rd avenues.
UW-Stout students will be on hand in the main lobby of each building to greet and direct children and parents. The halls will feature games and activities such as spider toss, pumpkin bowling and a Halloween Hunt. Student residents will be handing out traditional candy treats and trinkets such as pencils, crayons, ping-pong paddle games and temporary tattoos.
During the festivities, the residence halls also will be holding a food drive to benefit the Interfaith Food Pantry of Dunn County. Participants are encouraged to bring a canned food item to donate.
