This upcoming Halloween Weekend, there will be a “Blackout” event being held by the 21 Club for all students.

“Blackout” will be a tent held in the village lawn, where there will be a light show, and a huge costume party being. Jeri Polland is a part of 21 Club has put a lot of effort in getting the event together.

The event is being catered to everyone because it will focus on safety, as no alcohol will be tolerated.

The tent will have music, be lighted, and students can even expect to see a laser light show if they attend.

“The event is promotional because we hope we can raise funds for an even bigger event for next semester held by 21 Club, so we are hoping the event will be a success so we can surprise everyone,” says Polland.

The village lawn was the only area that was big enough to hold the tent, which will hold and admit 200-250 people. People wearing costumes will receive a discount, paying $1 to get into the event, while people with no costume will have to pay $3.

“We will be selling wristbands, most likely at the village or at GSU but we will announce when and where we will be selling them prior to the event,” says Polland.

All the funds will be going to the 21 Club Spring 2011 semester event, details of which are still a surprise.

“We have an idea of the event for next semester, but I can’t give the details away,” says Polland.

The Club is leaving the event a surprise, as Polland, who is a senior explains that she wants to leave the 21 club with a big bang.

“I have been working with the 21 Club for a while now, and I think even though this is promotional it will be huge, the tent is so massive the village lawn is the only place it could fit,” says Polland.

Blackout will be available for all students, even commuters, and it is even for students that are under 21, as the 21 Club usually only admits students who meet the age requirement.

“We did a Halloween event last year that was really successful, and I think this is going to be awesome, as people are already starting to get the word out,” exclaimed Polland.

Polland explains that working on Blackout which is a promotional event has been a lot of work, and hopes it will do well because she wants next semester’s event to be even bigger.
