ONEONTA, N.Y. -- Children from Oneonta and the surrounding area are invited to the campuses of the SUNY College at Oneonta and Hartwick College on Sunday, October 28, for trick-or-treating and a number of other Halloween activities. The SUNY-Oneonta Office of Residential Community Life and the Hartwick Office of Residential Life are collaborating on the fun-filled day for area children.

The day will begin with a Halloween Costume Party in the Stack Lounge of Dewar Hall at Hartwick College from noon until 2 p.m. From 2 p.m. until 4 p.m., children are invited to trick or treat on the Hartwick campus. Admission to the events is complimentary.

From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., SUNY-Oneonta will offer a Halloween Carnival with Arts and Crafts in the Hunt College Union Ballroom. Admission to the event will be $1 per child, and all proceeds will benefit the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. The carnival will be sponsored by the College at Oneonta sororities and fraternities.

Following the carnival, children are invited to trick or treat in the SUNY-Oneonta residence halls from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. SUNY-Oneonta has been inviting community children to trick or treat on campus for over 10 years. College students in the residence halls, which will be decorated for Halloween, will have snacks and other treats for children.
