COLUMBIA, KY - Halloween will be celebrated Thursday, October 29, 209, at Lindsey Wilson College for Southcentral Kentucky children. On that day, Lindsey Wilson College will hold its "Safe Halloween," an annual event that gives the region's trick-or-treaters an opportunity to collect candy in Lindsey Wilson's residence halls.

Parents and guardians can bring children to the lobby of Lindsey Wilson Cralle Student Union Building, 420 Spickard DR, Columbia, KY, from 6-8pmCT on Thursday, October 29, 2009.



Lindsey Wilson students will lead children and their parents or guardians through residence halls, where residents will hand out candy. It takes about 40 minutes to canvass the college's residence halls. All items distributed at "Safe Halloween" are individually wrapped, pre-packaged store-bought candy.

This is the 16th consecutive year Lindsey Wilson has held "Safe Halloween" for the region's children. The annual event is as popular among Lindsey Wilson students as it is among area schoolchildren.

"This is one of the big events for our students each year," said Lindsey Wilson Director of Residence Life Andy McAllister. "They put a lot of work into decorating the residence halls and dressing up in costumes. And they love to give candy to the children."

McAllister has worked the event as both a student and as a Lindsey Wilson employee.

"What I love about 'Safe Halloween' is that it helps bring the college and the community together," he said. "It's also a great for families. Parents like 'Safe Halloween' because they know their children will be at a safe environment. And the children like it because they always come away with a big bag of candy."Lindsey Wilson College's "Safe Halloween" will be from 6-8pmCT Thursday, October 29, 2009. Come to the Lindsey Wilson Campus to Cralle Student Union Building, 420 Spickard DR, Columbia, KY. There is no cost to attend the event.
