On October 27 of this year, from approximately 7:30-11:00, an event was held in the campus center in celebration of Halloween. Some freshman or transfers new to Stockton, or college altogether, may have had the idea that Halloween at college was about drinking. Lolla-no-booza was a fun and alcohol free program that showed that Halloween didn’t have to involve poor decisions!

At the event were several games one could play as well as many stands involving fun Halloween activities. I personally was spooked by the scary chair! There were dueling DJs that played their music through wireless headsets that the listener could choose at their leisure. After a while of dancing the dance club graced the crowd with a well-choreographed dance.

For food, there was corndogs, pizza, cupcakes, and refreshments available. Also available was the non-alcoholic bar that served delicious, sugary, drinks that really fit in with the atmosphere. There were no complaints about the lack of alcohol at that bar!

If party-goers were to interact with the stands along the halls and play their educational games, they could win tickets. These tickets that would be put into a lottery machine for the chance to win an array of prizes. I was lucky enough to win a large container of high ply toilet paper. One might not think such a thing is useful until they’ve walked a mile in my shoes!

The entire event was fun and light hearted. Everyone seemed to be having a great time because there was just so much to do! The message was good and carried throughout the night. What a great event for new students to become acquainted with the fun that Stockton can offer.
