SHERMAN, TEXAS—Now in its 22nd year, ’Roo Boo at Austin College will be held Friday, October 27, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on the campus at 900 N. Grand Avenue. Children aged 12 and younger are invited to wear their Halloween costumes and enjoy this free trick-or-treat event; parental supervision is required.

More than 45 student organizations will be represented offering games and candy at the “Mystical Fairytale/Far Far Away” themed event.

Weather permitting, ’Roo Boo will be on Windsor Mall in the center of campus, and in case of rain, activities will be held in Sid Richardson Center of the Robert T.

Historically, more than 1,250 guests attend the family-friendly event, and Austin College Police will be on patrol to ensure everyone’s safety. ’Roo Boo is hosted each year by the Austin College chapter of Alpha Phi Omega; the 2023 event chair is Austin College junior Shreya Bhat.
