On Thursday September 18th the G-K quad hosted a Hoedown Throwdown to welcome the lovely fall weather. There was all tables set up in the G through K building area for you to sit with friends and enjoy food and refreshments that were provided. There were all different kinds of snacks and an assortment of wings with different hot sauces for you to try. Along with that there was all types of mustaches and beards in lollipop form for you to take pictures with and of course eat and enjoy!
Once you got finished eating all the free food they started the wing eating contest. It started out with about twelve different girls and guys ready to take on the challenge. For the first round you had to eat each wing in a certain amount of time. Each person started with four wings that went up in the hotness level. All twelve people made it through to the second round but only two people decided to compete again due to the fact that everyone else mouth was on fire. For this round the winner had to eat four wings covered with the hottest sauce as fast as they could. The winner was then crowned with a giant cowboy hat.
Once the wing contest was finished we moved on to throwing pies in our RA’s faces and I’m not sure who wouldn’t want to do that. Of course me and my friends through a pie each at our old RA at the same time. During this time they handed out free bandanas and started lighting up a “fire” (just a grill really but same thing!) so we could make some oh so delicious s’mores. Overall it was a great event and if you were there I’m sure you had lots of fun getting to know your fellow residents and RA’s!
