Children 12 and younger are invited to wear their costumes to this free event that provides a safe alternative to trick-or-treating. Parental supervision is required. The event will include more than 30 carnival-style booths with games, as well as a bounce house. While plenty of free candy and activities will be available, no food or drink will be provided.

Local businesses can make donations of candy, prizes, and other support for the Austin College event by contacting Alpha Phi Omega event organizer Megan Luschen at (210)-844-5570.

’Roo Boo references the Austin College mascot, Katy ’Roo. The school’s athletic teams compete as the Austin College Kangaroos.
