Halloween, the perfect time for spookiness and hauntings. This year Ignacio was full of safe and spooky activities for everyone to enjoy on Thursday, Oct. 31. The Southern Ute Indian Tribe hosted hallway contests and trick or treating routes for students and families to enjoy. They even brought back the costume contest for staff to compete in as a group or individually. In Ignacio, the community was encouraged to visit the haunted houses at the Southern Ute Multi-Purpose Facility and the ELHI Building. For the families and younger kids, the annual Halloween Carnival was held at the Sky Ute Casino Resort where candy, costumes and games were abundant.
