An Announcement Regarding Our Costume Competition! The costume parade will take place at 9:00 and will be judged by board members of Lilac Rising. Rumor has it, they are accepting cash bribes at the masquerade. There will be three categories: best spooky costume/mask, best ensemble (trio/duo/team), and best overall. Trophies will be presented immediately following the parade! Good luck masqueraders!

The W**edown Wednesday Crew of Duende reminds you to be on the lookout for priority line sales from Stave W**e Bar! Same as last year, pre-purchase your bottle, skip the line at the event, get front row for The Sweet Nothings or our theater performances by Nomad Theatre Company, Purdue, or Illinois State! And for our b**r fans, Keg Grove is posting up on the east side of the courtyard with enough Lilac Seance to summon the undead. Get tickets - Get a Mask - Stay Spooky!
