Pull out your tickle trunk and put on your thinking caps, because there are prizes on offer for best costumes at the UWindsor Faculty and Staff Hallowe’en Social, scheduled this year for lunch on Friday, November 1.

“I encourage everyone to come in costume just because it’s more fun,” says organizer Mary-Ann Rennie.

Besides a pizza lunch, the event promises a return of last year’s popular candy bar, serving retro sweets reminiscent of a wasted childhood, including old-fashioned favourites like Tootsie Rolls, shoestring licorice, lollipops and jawbreakers.

The party runs noon to 1:15 p.m. in Vanier Hall’s Winclare A and is free for all University of Windsor staff and faculty. Sponsored by the president’s office, the event will include a door prize draw, as well as judged prizes for best individual and group costumes.
