The University of Mary Washington hosted its 2014 Pumpkin Palooza on Sunday, Oct. 26 on the Fredericksburg campus.
The event, coordinated by COAR, UMW’s student-run volunteer office, featured an afternoon of trick-or-treat and fall festivities for children and families in the local community. More than 100 families attended, with over 200 children dressed up in Halloween costumes. Children played games like “Donut on a String,” “Pin the Bow Tie on the Skeleton,” and sack races, in addition to creating Halloween crafts. Families also went on a trick-or-treat tour of Mary Washington’s residence halls, guided by UMW students.
UMW COAR had 93 student volunteers participate to coordinate the event with the help of the Association of Residence Halls at UMW.
