| The child pictured enjoyed bowling for ghosts at one of last year's Carnival of the Great Pumpkin booths. | |
Free and open to all students, faculty, staff and the surrounding community, the festival offers families a variety of activities such as costume and pumpkin pie eating contests with prizes, a haunted house, face painting, a wax hand replica machine and other free attractions, such as inflatable laser tag and a giant slide. A DJ will provide musical entertainment.
Student organizations on campus will offer food booths and carnival games with 100 percent of the proceeds going to help operate their organizations – many of them academic-related.
Bring the kids and the grandparents and grandkids to have a safe but howling good time while supporting opportunities for UTPA students. Free parking is available adjacent to the Fieldhouse.
