These two not-so-spooky ghosts glided from apartment to apartment dressed in sunglasses and bows Oct. 24 at the Circle Apartments Autumn Fest.

During this Halloween season, and with most of the students back on campus this semester, there were festive halloween events held all around campus for the week of Halloween. There was a Fall Fest at South Hill Elementary School that had food, music and concessions. There was also a trick-or-treating event where residents at the Circle Apartments passed out candy, a photo booth in the Park School and so many other fun and spooky events.
