This was the 15th year the Gala has been held at the college to raise funds for student scholarships.
CARNEYS POINT TWP. -- Celebrating Halloween in April?
That's what revelers did Saturday night at Salem Community College during the 15th Annual Gala.
This year's theme was "Fright Night, Halloween on Campus."
The event was presented by The Partners of Salem County and the Salem Community College Foundation.
The Gala has raised more than $700,000 for student scholarships since its inception.
Guests got creative with their costumes. There was the Grim Reaper and a large assortment of other ghouls and goblins. "Donald Trump" even made an appearance.
A silent auction featured many unique items, including one-of-a-kind glass creations. There was dinner and dancing in the DuPont Field House in Davidow Hall at the college which was transformed into a ballroom for the event.
