Aggies of all ages got into the Halloween spirit over the weekend, celebrating the chance to dress up, see friends in safe settings and more.

The festivities got started early, with an outdoor Halloween party on Oct. 23 — hosted by the Bohart Museum Society — to mark the Bohart Museum of Entomology’s 75th anniversary.

Rain dampened the Crocker Lane event but not the enthusiasm as the crowd toasted the work of the Bohart Museum and its director, Lynn Kimsey, UC Davis distinguished professor of entomology. She has administered the Bohart Museum since 1990. Read more on the UC Agriculture and Natural Resources website.

The MIND Institute helped more kids celebrate:

 

Alumni got festive with their décor, too.

Humans weren’t the only ones in costume.
