On Halloween, multiple departments in Sinclair collaborated with the Campus Activities Board and hosted Harvest Fest, an event sponsored by the department of Student and Community Engagement.
The event featured many festive ways to get into the fall spirit with pumpkin carvings, snacks and costumes.
Coordinator of Student and Community Engagement Kates Brommeland was heavily involved with the event.
“With an estimated 150 students in attendance, Harvest Fest was a great event and the location was ideal,” Brommeland said. “I saw that students were engaged and enjoyed the activities.”
These activities included a presentation on the significance of Harvest Fest and what it means, sand art, a pumpkin carving contest and a wide variety of costumes.
The Clarion held a costume contest at the event and had a diverse pool of contestants.
Some of the costumes included a mummy, The Joker, Fi from the Legend of Zelda series, a nurse pirate, a frontiersman and someone in persian style attire.
The winner of the contest selected by The Clarion staff, was Samuel Christian, in his Joker costume. JuanGabriel Encarnacion came in second place with a mummy/zombie costume. Marinda Myers came in third place with her Fi costume.
Brommeland looks forward to seeing more students at upcoming events. She encourages students to be involved with the college and share their Sinclair story. They can go to www.sinclair.edu/engagement for more details.
