<font face="Arial">Our Community Carnival hosted about 1500 regional
residents this year. That is an awesome number of people who brought
their children to our college and our community to enjoy a safe and
enjoyable Halloween. Jones Academy alone brought over two bus loads of
students who didn't want to do anything else but go to Eastern for the
Carnival. The list of people who made this carnival a success is so
long that I will send a general "thank you" to all clubs and club
sponsors who gave up their Saturday and many days before to set up
food and game booths, trunks for trick or treating, two area churches
that brought out their parishoners to help us out, Extreme Inflatables
who set up our fun free stuff for people to play in, PTK for tearing
down, picking up trash and setting up and running the inflatables,
Eastern Baseball for helping to set up tables and chairs, Wilburton
Chamber of Commerce, Wilburton Main Street and the City of Wilburton
Mayors office for supporting us and producing the best "Boo Parade" we
have ever had and many others who made our Carnival the place to be on
October 31st 2009. The Haunted Dorm was again another "smashing"
success just like last year. On Saturday alone they saw over 190
patrons getting their pants scared off. I want to thank my staff. I
believe I have the best staff on campus. They are always willing to
try any crazy idea I come up with (even the bad ones) and have the best
"we can do it" attitude I have ever seen. Thank you Eastern Student
Services staff for making my job easier and for ultimately making me
and our college look good. Now on to another busy Homecoming week. I
hope you will get an opportunity to come out and enjoy the activities
at 4 pm and 7 pm every day. Sally Davis Dean of Students<br>
