For most, the Halloween spirit was resurrected for a weekend full of frights, tricks, and treats with adults and kids joining in the celebrations. Kicking off the Halloween weekend, the Southern Ute Indian Montessori Academy and Southern Ute Tribal Departments participated in a COVID-19 conscious Trick-or-Treating event for parents and students on Thursday, Oct. 28. The festivities continued into the day as tribal employees displayed their best dress for the annual employee costume contest and “winner takes all” booth contest. Ghosts, goblins, and ghouls ruled All Hallows Eve. Families got treats at a Trunk-or-Treat event hosted by the Ignacio Community library as well as a special Drive Through Trunk-or-Treat hosted by the Southern Ute Boys and Girls Club on Sunday, Oct 31. Scares were delivered throughout the weekend by the Southern Ute Multi-Purpose Facilities’ annual Haunted House, as well as the Southern Ute Tribe’s Motor Pool Division earlier in the week, as they prepared a terrifying “Haunted Hallway” for staff.  So many events, and so little time, made for a memorable Halloween in the midst of the ongoing pandemic
