Spring Fling!!!

We had our Spring Fling event on Saturday, March 1st. Spring Fling is one of our larger programs and also our large fundraiser for our Relay for Life team. Relay for Life is a program that raises funds for The American Cancer Society and cancer research. The actual Relay for Life event is in April. There are several teams that all try to raise money for the cause and our housing team is called the Wild Willies. All of the proceeds from Spring Fling go to our team's contributions to Relay. This year we were able to raise about $250.00.

Thank you to all of those who came out to the event. We had a lot of fun activities. It was held at the track and we had a lot of things to do. We had a ton of field games including playing with a large ball, a water spoon relay, a rain gutter boat race, rug of war, and many other activities. We also had a great DJ as well as some live entertainment from a band here on campus. We had an old-fashioned lemonade stand that the children could work at where we sold pickles, popsicles, and lemonade, of course. We held pie eating contests along with cupcake contests for the little ones. We had chance drawings and sold Papa Johns pizza along with soda and water. Chic-fil-a came out to our event with sandwiches for sale as well as the prize wheel. The housing office staff had a tent where people could do renewals and lock in a cheaper rate on their license agreements.

It was a beautiful day, and we had a great time. We appreciate all of the volunteers and anyone who came out to Spring Fling and we hope everyone can make it out to next year's event as well. We put together a slide show with pictures from set-up and throughout the event. There are over 190 pictures, so it slides through pretty fast, but if you would like to look at each one better or save one, you can click on the slide show and it should take you to a different screen where you can choose what you want to look at and save by right clicking. If you have any questions you can leave us a post comment and we will help you out. Also, if you leave a comment anywhere on the blog with some sort of contact information, you could win a prize. We appreciate any kind of feedback from the event as long as it is constructive so that we can continue to make your experiences even better. Please leave us a comment!
