Safehouse

Thursday, November 6 2008 - Angela Curtis - Tags: safehouse

Even after a change in rules to make tour routes easier, we still had 50 of the 58 houses in the residence hall decorate for either the younger kid age group or the older kid age group. Through out the day, there was an estimated 350 younger kids who traveled through the houses and about 500 older kids who took a "haunted house" tour (approximately 850+ people from the community toured through the residence halls on October 25th). Winners were announced at the DHHC Costume Party part way through the night are were as follows:

0-7 Age Group Overall (between all three residence halls):
1st - Summit
2nd - I-House/Strange Crew/Tucker Inn
3rd - Daddy's Girls/CSLC

8-15 Age Group Overall (between all three residence halls):
1st - Mama's Boys
2nd - Nirvana/Citadel
3rd - Powerhouse
4th - Tombstone
5th - Cellblock

1st and 2nd place plaques were awarded to the 0-7 Age Group winners of each hall and 1st through 3rd plaques were awarded to the 8-15 Age Group winners of each hall (for more information on this, email irhc@mtu.edu). Congratulations to your 2008 Safehouse winners (enjoy your bragging rights :) ) and thank you to everyone who made this event a HUGE success.
