Lamar University’s Cardinal Activities Board will host its first Boo Bash Halloween dance and costume contest, Oct. 31, in the Setzer Student Center Live Oak Ballroom.
Boo Bash is a free event open to all Lamar University students and will feature music, free food, refreshments and a costume contest voted on by CAB staff.
“Students love to dance and are always looking for a reason to get out of their dorm room,” Hayden Jackson,” coordinator of student engagement, said. “We wanted to give students a fun way to celebrate the holiday on campus, and students kept asking for a dance during the fall semester, so it was an easy choice.
“The dress code for the event is costume or casual. If you come in costume, make sure it is appropriate, and if you are not coming in costume, come comfy.”
The top three best costumes will be awarded a mystery prize.
“We are going to have the red carpet set up, and will be taking pictures and judging all the costumes that come in,” Adriana Houston, CAB student worker, said. “We are really looking for creativity. I have seen some people come in with face paint and body art, but we can usually tell the front runners from the vibe when they walk in.”
Doors open at 7 p.m. and the dance will conclude at 10 p.m.
