Trick or Treat
It may not be the most obvious locale for Halloween festivities, but from 4:00 to 6:00 today, the Lawn will become a haven for young trick-or-treaters.
Mr. Jefferson's Academical Village will swarm with young children in costumes hoping to fill their plastic pumpkin candy troves with something good to eat.
Lawn residents have prepared for the event by spending between $15 and $50 on candy, said fourth-year College student and Lawn resident Katie Dirks.
Hosted each year by students and faculty residing on the Lawn, the trick-or-treat usually is additional to whatever neighborhoods have planned for the children later in the evening.
Dirks said that although the event is not publicized, hundreds of children invariably come out to enjoy the beautiful scenery and amass large quantities of tooth-decaying goodies.
"It's not an invitation thing, but somehow hundreds of kids end up coming," Dirks said.
