But everyone did a great job this year, and I was especially surprised with the awesome and very creative group costumes that were put together.The Halloween Party was held at the Pink Elephant.

One was set up by our friend Brooke, and was a "Hollywood Nights Prom", complete with dinner, dancing and couples photos, just like in high school! The other was the Ross End of Semester Party, which was a fundraiser for Cory's class, and held at the Pink Elephant with the theme of "Heaven and Hell".
