Now showing on a screen near you: 'Another Halloween Sequel'

Monday, November 1, 2021

Penn College's busily imaginative student organizations filled the weekend calendar so full that it spilled over into a second PCToday photo gallery! Wrapping up the Halloween happenings were the Wildcat Event Board's "Pumpkin Fest," moved into the Field House by Friday evening's rain; Sunday afternoon's "Trunk or Treat" car show sponsored by a coalition of vehicle-related student organizations (and rescheduled from Saturday due to showers); and Halloween evening's "Zombie Laser Tag," moved indoors by the threat of rain – but ultimately more deluged by the walking (and sprinting) dead.
