A cloudy morning did not stop the volunteers from making the Homecoming 2010 happen on Saturday. The Family Carnival was one of the many fun events held in the Homecoming. Bean bag toss, banana toss, mini soccer and football game, and arts and crafts booth were just a little part of what was taking place in SLC Great Hall. The alumni started coming around 10 am and they brought their young children with them.
Our very own David Johnston was there to read a story to the kids. He was even accompanied by Curious George! The Math Society was having a cotton candy stand, the Arts was having arts and crafts booth, and Science Faculty had their very own galelioscope door prize. The Faculty of Engineering held its own events in the FedS Hall, but that did not reduce the fun of Family Carnival. Who can resist a magic show, tons of colourful stickers, and face painting? Being there was great, but making it happen as a volunteer was even greater!
There were not many volunteers from Engineering, but I should say that engineering’s duct-tape magic made a lot of things easier in the carnival. It helped with garbage bags, setting up games, and even door knob hangers in crafts booth. The Carnival was indeed a great event to be involved with. I am looking forward to the next Homecoming and helping out cute children with crafts again! You should join too.
