On October 29th, two days before Halloween, the Wellness Center and Drug and Alcohol Peer Educators hosted Lolla-No-Booza, a fun and informative event spreading awareness about the dangers and facts of drugs and alcohol. The event was held in the Campus Center Event room from 7:00pm-11:00pm and there was food, games, and a ton of prizes for students to win. This year’s theme was “Freakshow,” a perfect fit for the week of Halloween. Inside the room all those who were working the event were dressed as clowns and other circus-like characters in spirit of the theme. There was even someone walking around on stilts. Right outside the Event Room there were two people juggling bowling pins.
The attendees walked in, many dressed in costumes, to table after table of fun games for students to play: water pong, spinning wheels, knocking down cups with balls, and more. After each win, a student would get a raffle ticket and be entered to win one of the numerous prizes baskets donated by various vendors. The long table of prizes seemed endless. In addition to the multiple carnival-like games available to play there was bull riding as well as a photo booth for students to capture all of the night’s memories.
Even if students didn’t have much luck with the raffle, they still were able to get free things because as the event was coming to an end, students received plastic cups filled with coupons to nearby restaurants. No matter how the night turned out, everyone ended the event a winner.
