Men's Basketball participating in the Halloween Day Activities at Westland Mall

he Golden Panthers men's basketball team will entertain children at the Tampico Tales and Treats for Halloween on Thursday, October 31, at 5:00 p.m. The event will take place at Westland Mall.

Members of the FIU basketball team will entertain the children with ghost stories from 4-6pm, thus crowning four days of Tampico-sponsored Halloween activities and product sampling at the mall, located at 1675 West 49th Street in Hialeah.

"Tampico is very proud to host this special appearance by the FIU basketball team during our Halloween activities in the predominately Hispanic neighborhood," said Richard Ross, Tampico Brand Director.

Besides the team's presence from 5-7 p.m., professional storytellers will also be in the Tampico activity area throughout the day. Parents and children who stop by to hear their favorite ghost and goblin stories will receive a free Tampico coloring book, as well as trick-or-treat bags with free samples of Tampico Fruit Punches.

The Golden Panthers open the season hosting Iona, Libscomb and Morris Brown in the FIU Tip-Off Classic at Golden Panther Arena on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 23-24.
