Penn Staters will look for any excuse to decorate their cribs for a special occasion. Whether i’s a clever game-day dig against an opponent or flashy Christmas lights in the winter, Happy Valley never disappoints when it comes to festive decor.

With autumn in full swing and Halloween well on its way, we want to see the best Halloween decorations around State College. No matter if you live in a house with six other students or you have to confine decorations to your dorm room window, send us photos showcasing how you chose to decorate your space. Oh, and major bonus if your Halloween decor has a Penn State theme.

Those interested can email photos to clairefountas@onwardstate.com. Please include your name and year in school as well.
