Kelly Hunt and the Kinetics provide the evening’s entertainment following the bar-b-que. “Fun in the Sun Daze” was the theme of this year’s annual Fall Fest, sponsored by the Student Senate. It kicked-off with an all college bar-b-que with a concert featuring Kelly Hunt and the Kinetics. During the Fall Fest students participated in the punt, pass and kic k competition, softball throw, frisbee golf, water balloon contest, tennis serve competition, long jump and several other events. Shirts, hats, and frisbees were awarded as prizes to the top individual in each category. “The students who were at campusfest had a good time,” said Scott Stoskopf, Student Senate president. Fall Fest allows students to become acquainted with new friends and reacquainted with old friends. Also, it helps students adapt to college life and feel more at home by letting them be themselves. The Senate ended its activities with an all-college mixer dance.
