PRSSA hosts annual Boo Bash
Members of the MSU chapter of Public Relations Student Society of America kicked off the Halloween holiday season with its Boo Bash 2010 Oct. 27.
Held at the Olive Restaurant (across from Pogue Library), the event drew more than 75 people in the crowd to watch contestants vie for prizes.
The highlight of the night was the parade of competitors modeling their costumes. Lauren Rosentreter, publicity director for the event, said the contestants acted out the characters of their costumes in hopes of winning a prize.
Judges for the annual event were JMC faculty members, Elizabeth Thomas and Dr. Kevin Qualls, and Liza Qualls.
Prizes for the event were donated by Matt B's, Quarter's Grill, Vintage Rose, Red Barn, Finish-Line Car Wash, Big Apple Café, Goody's, Gloria's, Video Gold and The Olive Restaurant.
Rachel Miller, president of the PRSSA chapter, said that proceeds from the event would help pay for the members to attend regional and national public relations events.
Robin Orvino, head of the public relations major, serves as the adviser to the chapter.
