Halloween at the Ohio Union

They say acceptance is the first step to recovery, so it’s time to admit it: as college students, we are past our prime in the trick-or treating department. In addition, you’d have to drive a little ways with that pillowcase to find a prime location to grab some candy, still there’s no reason to completely outgrow the Halloween spirit. There some are some other memorable ways to celebrate the holiday right here on campus!

Flicks for Free

Wednesday, October 28 at 6 and 8 p.m.

Get an early start to your Halloween by stocking up on some treats and heading to the US Bank Conference Theater for the extra spooky double feature. Insidious Chapter 3 and Sinister 2 will be playing for those who want to add a little scare to their Wednesday evening-and the event ends just early enough to get home before it gets dark out.

 

Howl-O-Ween

Thursday, October 29 at 11 a.m. until 6 p.m.

Grab some candy for yourself and learn about the benefits of service dogs for veterans and children with disabilities in the Ohio Union Great Hall! Some of the pups will even be making a guest appearance in their costumes for a photo op with attendees who wish to make a donation.

Even better, this event has a philanthropic motive: all proceeds go to Pets 4 Vets and Paws 4 Ability.

 

OUABoo

Thursday, October 29 at 7 p.m.

Begin your Halloween celebration a few days early with OUABoo on the West Plaza of the Ohio Union. Complete with a haunted house and spooky treats, this is a great way to jump into the Halloween spirit. Come if you dare.

 

Masquerade Ball

Friday, October 30 at 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Get an old-fashioned glamorous beginning to your Hallo-weekend in the Ohio Union West Ballroom by attending UNICEF’s masquerade ball Friday night. Attire is elegant, so leave the banana costume at home and put on your best masquerade attire (formal dress and a mask.)  Entertainment, desserts and philanthropy (proceeds are doubled and donated to United Nations Children’s Fund) can be had for $8 per ticket/$15 for a pair. Make sure you get those pre-sale tickets, as prices go up to $10 at the door! Order here: http://unicefosu.wix.com/unicefosu#!masquerade-ball/pv7dx
