"We love having the opportunity to bring the people of Farmville together," said head baseball coach
Chad Oxendine. "It's an awesome event for the entire community and our guys look forward to it every year. We're excited to host the town and continue the tradition of Spooky Slugfest."
Featured games this year include putt-putt with the golf teams, dunk and free-throw contests with basketball, wiffle-ball home run derby with baseball and so many more with the other Lancers Athletics programs!
