VILLAFEST 2009 October 19, 2009
Posted by Marina in : Fall 2009 , trackbackBetween Friday and Saturday, the possibilities to have fun were endless here at SU! When we arrived, the Alumni’s were having fun in the pavillion at Happy Hour. As students, under the age of 21, we were not invited. However, up the stairs, we were! The kid friendly area up in the Student Union had face painting, food, glow sticks, and much much more! Including the HAUNTED HALLWAY!
Originally named the Haunted Trail, the Haunted Hallway was just as adventerous and spooky as the original. Due to the weather, the “trail” was moved into the Academic Center. This year, the hay rides and bonfire were cancelled. However, students stood in line for over an hour to see what the different clubs and organizations on campus had come up with! Each room was decorated differently based off of the clubs concept. At the end, we voted for our favorite room and recieved a free Thriller cup filled with yummy popcorn!
Next, we moved back downstairs to the gym and waited for Midnight Madness to begin! The first order of business for the evening was the presentation of the Semi-Finalist Lacrosse Banner for the 2009 season. It was followed up with the introduction of the Cheerleading squad! They performed for the first time this year. When watching their performance, I noticed that we had two very special guests enter the gym. During the introduction of the Women’s Basketball Team, I took pictures of these mystery guests!
That’s right! President Manning and Wild Stang joined us at this wonderful athletic celebration! But that isn’t all boys and girls – after the Women’s scrimmage, it was the Men’s alumni versus the 2009 Men’s Basketball Team!!! It was a GREAT game! The Alumni won in the last ten seconds by 2 points!!! This amazing game was followed up by the Dance Team. They performed to a medley of Michael Jackson classics, honoring the “Thriller” theme for this year.
The next day, Villafest continued on the Owings Mills campus in the Bubble down the hill behind caves. Because it was raining, all sporting events were cancelled and all other events were moved inside. But it did not matter – it was so much fun! I walked in the bubble with nothing and walked out with an array of special foods and crafts. All the different clubs were out and were showcasing their activity. To name a few, I got my face painted, made a Michael Jackson glove, dipped my own caramel apple, painted a pumpkin, ate some delicious food, and heard awesome live music!
Way to go SU! Hope to see everyone out tonight at Recycled Percussion!
