Thanks to Lindsey Wilson for Safe Halloween night

Heather Evans writes:
I just wanted to thank the students of Lindsey Wilson College. The Safe Halloween was great as usual. It's always well organized and runs fairly smoothly. I'm sure the kids are more interested in the candy, but I always look forward to the decorated halls. The girls are very creative and transform their halls completely and the boys are creative as well, in that they have darker ideas aimed to frighten the children. - HEATHER EVANS
Safe Halloween was held Tuesday, October 25, 2011, at Lindsey Wilson College
