Students participated in many activities during the festival which is a yearly tradition at BCCC. A mong the activities were a nooner, a jello-eating contest, a movie, a square dance exhibition and a Halloween dance. A costume contest was also held during the dance. “The costume contest was exciting. However, I did lose,” said Randall Ritchie, Great Bend freshman.
