“If he has his hat on, then he’s a scarecrow,” said four-year-old Addie Dimeglio about her one-year-old brother. “If he doesn’t then he’s a farmer.”
It was the Dimeglio family’s first time at the Mills Halloween Extravaganza, and they were also the first to arrive. Addie was dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, and her brother was the scarecrow/farmer. Both kids entered the building with smiles and wide eyes as they viewed the Halloween decorations.
“We heard about it from one of our friends who came last year so we thought we’d give it a try,” said Collins Dimeglio, the father.
Mills Hall hosted their 6th annual Halloween Extravaganza last Thursday from 5-7 p.m. for children in the community. Mills’ hall council had been preparing for the event since September.
Each year the hall council comes up with a different theme for the occasion. This year the theme was “Mad Science,” where the first floor lounge was decorated as a graveyard and haunted house. The house included body parts, thriller music, and students dressed up playing different roles such as an old lady and a werewolf.
Many students and RAs were dressed in costumes. Kanoa King, an RA on the first floor, was dressed as a scary old lady wearing an old lady mask and a print-patterned dress that he bought from Goodwill. King also volunteered to help out last year when he was an RA in Hetzel Hall.
