Corporate trick-or-treat event has haunted house, other spooky fun

Princesses, superheroes, and all manner of ghouls, goblins, and critters descended on Corporate last Friday, October 28, for the Corporate Community Outreach Committee’s Halloween trick-or-treating event. Besides roaming the building seeking out treats, kids enjoyed snacks and crafts in the 4th Floor Cafe, and everybody could check out the goodies on offer at our bake sale. And of course, Information Systems guaranteed plenty of spooky fun with a haunted house that featured two time slots with different levels of scariness, so both older and younger children could have a great time.

You can see some of the terrifying sights they experienced in the video above, and check out photos as well. Take a look … if you dare!

From left are: Tiffany Dettmann’s daughter Everleigh, 2, dressed as Elsa from Frozen; Megan Butler’s son Eastyn, 2, and daughter Oaklynn, 15 months, as the Beast and Belle; and Laura and Jon Habighorst’s son Ben, 3, as Batman.

Charlotte Knight’s grandkids: Riley, 1, as Tony the Tiger, Marvin, 3, as Spider-Man, and Kamden, 3, and Kamini, 6, both as Batman; Cheryl Lang’s daughter Olia, 7, as the Cheshire Cat; and grandma Cindy Lohrey with daughter Emily Curro and Emily’s husband Tony and 1-year-old Kinsley.

These ghostly triplets lit the way for brave souls in search of candy.

Colleen Moore took a break from helping get everything ready to haunt Tim Dotson. And customer Leonard T. comes into the Brookfield Square branch a couple of times a week. “When he stopped in on the 28th, he saw all of the Halloween excitement and ran back home to get his dog, King, who he said has many Halloween outfits,” area manager AVP Maria Baumer reported. And Colleen and Cathy Degner were obviously hard at work getting snacks set out in the cafe.

Kelly Schneider’s kids Faith, 6, and Malachi, 12, came with their sister Trinity, 9. The girls are Jessie the cowgirl from Toy Story and a princess. Malachi was harder to pin down. “Honestly, I am not sure exactly what you would call him — he’s just something scary,” Kelly said. Dan Truss’s wife is with his sons, who are Spider-Man and the Hulk. And Marta Acosta’s grandkids Alyna, 7, and Azekiel, 14 months, came as Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz.

Mika Harris is with husband Toby and son Emmanuel. “He took off his vampire costume after school. He said it was too hot and his face paint melted off,” she said. Dana Durocher’s daughter Ashley, 11, was a scary clown, while Kylie, 15, came as Eleven from Stranger Things. And Jessica Dalba’s sister Tayler, 9, showed up as Harley Quinn.

Priscilla Hartling and her Minions waited for trick-or-treaters, and Rose Koller, Mariella Zarb, and Maria Baumer visited the bake sale.

President Jay McKenna looked nifty in his flight suit, Cathy Degner showed off more goodies, and Karen Pofohl kept things buzzing in the branch.

Nancy Hanson, Kelly LaBonte, Casey Kopacz, and Janet Russell — who made their shirts — kept things creepy on the 2nd Floor.

Elizabeth Castillo brought a Ghostbuster, Chewbacca, pumpkin, and Yoda in for trick-or-treating.

And the IS team’s haunted house was full of frightful fun. Besides getting horrifyingly dudded out for the day, the department also raised $600 for the Make-a-Wish Foundation. From left, the costumed crusaders of Information Systems are: Wendy Repka, the just-retired Pam Bradley, Dana Scherff, Suzanne Torn, Adam Cary, Dan Fregoso, Arlen Tsao, Sherri Scalish, Bryan Peters, Dorothy Beringer, Scott Pagliaroni, Robin Jeffers, and Dana’s husband, Rick.
