Happy Halloween, Delta! The Halloween season is finally here at Delta and the school has some exciting upcoming spooky events coming this month for students and their families. 

On Saturday, Oct. 29, Delta will host Fierce’s Fall Fest in CTE Land from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. for students, staff and the Stockton community. 

The festival is sponsored by Delta’s Career & Technical Education (CTE) and Delta Adults on the Right Trac for Employment (DARTE) to boost awareness of everything the school has to offer.

“The reason for this event is for the community to have exposure to Career and Technical Education,” said Dr. Heather Maloy, director of DARTE. “That Delta is not only a two-year degree institution, however we offer many different short term certificate programs that can lead to high wage jobs in the community.”

The event will feature Halloween tricks and treats, as well as other entertainments. This includes trackless train rides, bounce houses, photo booths, free snow cones, a costume parade and more.

The festival will also provide a 10-stop tour of booths for CTE programs. There you can trick or treat and get candy and also learn some invaluable information about the different degrees you can earn and certificate programs available at Delta. 

“I want our community to see that Delta’s College is a part of their story,” said Maloy. “I want our communities  children to see their future and can be here at Delta College.”

Later in the day, there will also be a fundraiser held by the Delta College Foundation, “Back to Our Future.”

Starting at 6 p.m. on Oct. 29 at Danner Hall, the event will showcase the future of the Foundation and showcase different student, staff and college programs. 

“The ‘Back To Our Future’ fundraiser is the first of many new efforts led by the Delta College Foundation to make an impact on students today, tomorrow and well into the future,” said Joseph Feneck, executive director of the Foundation. “This event is a wonderful opportunity for the Delta College Foundation to cultivate new relationships, strengthen community partnerships, and raise funds to enhance the educational experiences of our students.”
