ELLISVILLE- If you’re not careful, you may be “tricked” by some changes at Jones College’s “Treats in the Streets” annual Trick-or-Treat event. Hosted by the Office of Student Affairs along with campus clubs and organizations, the annual “Treats in the Streets” night of activities will be held on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m.
Another change this year includes the location of the event which has been moved to the North Lawn of Jones Hall. Streets around the north end of Jones Hall, across from the Administration, A.B. Howard Gymnasium, Science, and Physical Education buildings will be closed for the safety of everyone entering the front lawn of Jones Hall. Admission is free unless otherwise noted, and the public is welcome to attend all events. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
From 6 p.m. until 9 p.m., JC clubs and organizations will have treats and games available in front of Jones Hall. This event is for children ages 0 to 12 years, and all children must be accompanied by an adult to attend. Also, the Jones College all-you-can-eat cafeteria will stay open for dinner until 7:30 p.m. The cost of dinner for children aged 4 to 9 years of age is $5.39, and the cost of dinner for children 10 and older, including adults is $9.35 (tax included). The Student Union & the Bobcat Grill located behind the A.B. Howard Gymnasium, will be open until 10 p.m.
Other food items will be available for purchase from various vendors. Community businesses or food vendors or who want to participate and have a booth on the trail, can contact Ashliegh Buckley via email, ashliegh.buckley@jcjc.edu
The costume contests for kids ages 0 to 12 will begin at 7 p.m. on the center mound on the stage in front of the video board and near the entrance of Jones Hall with the costume contest for JC students to immediately follow.
The annual Treats in the Streets celebration is an outdoor event and may be canceled or modified, if it rains or if the weather is not conducive for children. For more information, contact Ashliegh Buckley at 601-477-2253 or email, ashliegh.buckley@jcjc.edu
