The FCC Fall Carnival will take place at Ratcliffe Stadium from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.on Halloween and is considered a “safe alternative” for children for trick-or-treating. Many FCC clubs will participating in this event, and activities include games, food, candy, and more.
According to ASG senator Gao Vang, a highlight of the carnival will include an interactive haunted house.
