Speaking before the dance Thursday morning, Miller and SAB director Holly Corbitt expected the dance to be huge. “I think it’s going to be awesome. We’ve totally transformed Vista,” said Corbitt.
“It’s going to be a major blowout,” said Miller. “Probably, at this point we’re going to have too many people.”
During Wednesday’s mummy race, teams raced each other through the College Center. Teams consisted of two people, one person was the mummy and the other person had to wrap toilet paper around the “mummy.” The teams were then judged on their walk, look and mummy growl.
Judge Josh Knapp said he judged people on originality and Halloween spirit. Judge Holly Wilburn said, “It’s all about creativity and acting.”
On Tuesday the College Center was transformed into a movie theater from 3 to 5 p.m. The movie ‘The Shining’ was shown and drew a crowd of about 50-60 people. “The Shining is an old-fashioned classic that was filmed (at Timberline Lodge). We wanted to bring home not only the fact that it was scary but that we could all feel more connected to it,” said Miller.
On Monday, the event “Prize in a Haystack” was moved from the College Center to the Main Mall. The prizes that were given out for the various events included DVDs, coupons for local businesses, candy, and MHCC products.
Miller said that Boo Week events had a lot more participation than he expected.
“It just shows that if students know what’s going on, they will participate,” said Corbitt.
