Candy Lottery

Has it been your dream to own a giant vessel of candy?!? How about three?

Tau Sigma Delta will be holding a ‘candy lottery’ Wednesday through Monday. We have filled three enormous jars full of your favorite Halloween treats. Stop by and enter your guess for how many pieces of candy are in the three jars combined. The persons who enter the three closest guesses will be awarded the jars on Monday afternoon – just in time for Halloween! Guesses cost $1, or $2 for three guesses. Remember that the candy lottery is a fundraiser for this spring’s Beaux Arts Gala.

Come by and enter your guesses…

Mornings – Renaissance, 2^nd floor (south side)

Afternoons – Klai, 1^st floor (north side)

Evenings – Renaissance, 2^nd floor (south side)

Or stop by the tables outside the bookstore on main campus on Friday and Monday between 11am and 1:30pm.
