A
medley of games, food, art displays and
vendors will be present at the Fall Festival
2002, a fund-raiser put on by the Design
Student Association, which will take place
at the speaker’s platform Thursday from
10 a.m. until 6 p.m.
The festival will raise money for the senior
show, which is held at the end of the school
year. The senior show is when the department
invites more than 400 professionals in interior
and industrial design to view the work of
the seniors.
“The students have come up with a creative
way to make money, and have fun doing it,”
said Tor Hovind, chairman of the design
department.
The festival might be a good introduction
to the design department for students who
are undecided in their major, said Tyrone
Robinson of the Program Council, which is
helping put the festival together.
“[The festival] might get freshmen interested
in becoming a design major,” Robinson said.
“We are going with a hoe-down theme this
year,” said Christine Hoffman, assistant
coordinator for the event.
Six game booths will have games such
as the beanbag toss and a ring toss. There
will also be a basketball competition and
a soccer shoot-out.
“It’s a carnival atmosphere,” Hovind said.
Various vendor booths will also be set up
and students can relive their childhood
by bouncing inside of a giant blow-up castle.
Volunteers will cook hamburgers, hot dogs
and chicken or beef skewers at the barbecue
food area.
Plenty of homemade cotton candy and candied
corn will also be available for those who
have a sweet tooth and a taste for a good
old-fashioned country carnival.
The festival is held as the interior design
department’s major fund-raiser for its senior
show.
Weather permitting, some student design
projects will also be displayed, Hoffman
said.
