The dark clouds in the sky set the perfect mood for the Cypress College Pumpkin Bash, which drew over one hundred of the living, and the dead, to the center of campus.
The annual event, held on Thursday Oct. 30, invited Cypress College students and their families to come enjoy some Halloween fun, presented by the clubs of the college. Students, parents, and children alike flooded the central bridge, playing games, eating candy, and enjoying the spooky festivities.
