SSCC supporting local trick-or-treat events

-
For the past nine years, the Central Campus of Southern State Community College has played host to hundreds of little “boos” and “ghouls” during the annual Safe Trick-or-Treat event.
This year, however, the college is instead inviting the county’s costumed children to attend BooFest to be held 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27, in the uptown Hillsboro business district or the YMCA Spook Walk to be held 7-9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, at the Highland County Family YMCA in Hillsboro.
A project of the student service organization Students in Action, Safe Trick-or-Treat was first organized in 2002 because, at that time, there was nothing quite like it in the area. Since that time, many groups have begun offering organized trick-or-treating events for the children of the community. Now that other community events have gained momentum, the college felt the time was right to collaborate – rather than compete – with its partners in Hillsboro.
