What is it we love most about Halloween? The costumes? The tricks? The treats? It all happens big time in the Central Washington University Student Union and Recreation Center Ballroom, during the 25th annual Boo Central event on October 31.

From science experiments to face painting and cow roping, student clubs and organizations plan a variety of activities and "tricks" for more than 500 local kids, pre-K through the fifth grade, while Campus Activities staff serves up treat bags donated by local businesses.

Boo Central is a safe place for kids to enjoy the festivities of Halloween in all its glory, without the risk of being cold walking door to door trick-or-treating. It’s also the perfect opportunity for families to enjoy an evening full of tricks and treats, making Halloween fun and safe.

The event will be held from 5-8 p.m. Admission is free.
