Oregon State University's Super Hero Staff Celebrates Halloween with an Open House of Treats     
Oregon State University
Last year Oregon State University's in-plant team in Corvallis, OR, dressed in costume to host a Halloween Open House. "Our customers were invited, the whole shop was decorated and food was served," explains Associate Director Ari Grossman-Naples. As an in-plant that strives to go above and beyond, the theme of the open house centered around super heroes. Customers were routed from area to area to learn about the super services offered and to collect super powers. Once all the areas were visited, completed sheets were placed in a raffle box for a special drawing. "Additionally we had vendors who helped to sponsor the event with donations of gift cards and food."
