STUDENT LIFE BIKES, BLUES, AND BBQ 25 HOGS, BLUES, B6 The bellow of engines roared throughout the city of Fayetteville. It was once again time for the annual Bikes, Blues and Barbeque event. The weekend venture sparked attraction for many bikers and students. Nonetheless, some students decided it was finally time to bring the Fayetteville tradition to the UA campus. The UA University Programs organization hosted a free event for students on Sept. 27 known as Hogs, Blues and BBQ. Rachel Ludeman, senior international relations, political science, European studies major and UP Daytime Committee Chair said, “The purpose of this event was to bring one of Fayetteville’s coolest annual events to campus. I wanted students to be able to experience some Fayetteville BBQ and Blues without having to leave campus.” Sassy’s Red House provided free barbeque to the UA. The event also had a mechanical bull, airbrush tattoos and Blues music. “I found the BBB event on campus to be very convenient. The line moved swiftly and students didn’t have to travel down the busy street of Dickson to enjoy the festivities. Also, who doesn’t enjoy free BBQ in between classes?” Bonita Reddix, junior social work major, said. Several students still stuck to the tradition of walking down to Dickson Street to enjoy the experience firsthand. It was my first time attending the event, and I enjoyed my experi¬ ence at BBB. It’s always amazing to see people coming together to celebrate a common interest,” Jewel Blow, senior sociology and criminal justice major and political science minor, said. “I especially loved the funnel cake and taking a picture on one of the bikes!” Rachel Ludeman hoped that the Hogs, Blues and BBQ would con¬ tinue to be a tradition on campus, serving as a reflection to the city and a convenient outlet for students who didn’t want to make the crowded trip down Dickson Street.
