Halloween event open to the community
Texas A&M University-Kingsville had a spooktacular event called, “Trunk or Treat” on Halloween. The event took place on campus and had many families attend.
There were also plenty of organizations that participated in the Trunk or Treat, such as the Class Giving Society, Javelina Women’s Basketball, Greek Life, and many more.
“I was very excited at the turn out of this event and I really loved how everyone was having fun and enjoying the Halloween festivities. TAMUK is a giant family that always comes together to celebrate,” Founder of Class Giving Society Ruben Martinez said.
The event was from 5 to 7 p.m. and had a variety of different things to do.
There was music, games, a costume contest, and the best Trunk or Treat car contest. The Trunk or Treat cars were judged by President Dr. Hussey, Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Services Dr. Rito Silva and Miss. TAMUK. There were also at least 100 children who showed up for the event and many of the children who attended were dressed up in Halloween costumes as well.
“I would say that this year’s Trunk or Treat at TAMUK was fun and exciting, and I loved how all the cars were decorated. I thought that things were going to be different, but they turned out to be really great,” TAMUK student Jackie Garcia said.
There was plenty of candy that was given out to the people who attended.
Many of the Trunk or Treat cars had different themes, such as under the sea, superheroe, and basketball. Some families also brought their pets that also had costumes on as well for the spooky event.
“A lot of great things took place at this year’s Trunk or Treat at TAMUK. The weather was perfect, there was a lot of people, the children seemed to love it, and everyone had really awesome costumes,” TAMUK student Iliana Tijerina said.
