Summer has come and gone and fall is here, although living in Florida you would have never noticed it. With the season change comes Halloween, cooler weather (sometimes), and fall festivals. The Dale Mabry Campus held a festival on Oct. 14 to celebrate the beginning of the season’s fun. With free food, face painting, balloon makers, club information, and "goofy I.D.s", students took a break from classes by participating in the festival. Music was played as students were able to relax and enjoy the festivities with their friends. "It was really fun being able to eat free food and relax from my break between classes," said Reisner. "In this economy, students need to take advantage of these events their school puts on; especially when free food is involved."

Students just had to get a ticket for the free food, and then take it to the food stands in order to take advantage.
Christine Reisner, 24, Fine Arts major, took full advantage of all the things the festival had to offer.
"After eating, I got my face painted and then I got information on cool clubs that I didn’t even know HCC had."
Face Painting by Susan and Balloons by Lester supplied the entertainment for students. Their booth had a long line for the majority of the festival.
"Getting a balloon made was so much fun," said Reisner. "It was just like being a kid again."
Participating clubs included the Dale Mabry Gospel Choir, Bible Study, Phi Theta Kappa, and more. They handed out information, and talked to students about their focus to recruit new members
Rick Gardner, 32, Liberal Arts Major, appreciated the free food and loved having his face painted.
"What I liked most was the free food," said Gardner.
