Big Pink Event!

Hey guys!

So this week we decided to go to a kick off event for Relay for Life called the Big Pink Event. This was held on October 19th, 2016 in the Gemmell Rotunda from 5-7 pm. This event aims to raise awareness for Breast Cancer early detection/screening. You get to meet the committee, learn more about what Relay for Life is, and find out how to join in the fight against cancer.  Event participants can register for the spring 2016 Relay event this night only for a discounted cost of $5.  

Students were able to come play fun games & hangout! For example, we were able to play a game called Fact or Myth; this game is a Q/A about cancer and if you get the question right, you win a prize! We also talked to some of the students who helped out with the event, and got to learn more about breast cancer. Since October is breast cancer awareness month, this was a great event to help get involved on campus and learn more about this find a cure.  

We hope you all enjoy the video and hopefully try to go to this event next year!

Autumn Leaf Festival!

Hey everyone!

We wanted to share our experience of the annual Autumn Leaf Festival, or ALF for short. This year, ALF was held from September 24th- October 2 on Main Street. The whole road is filled with different stands containing amazing foods, crafts, clothes, antiques, etc. Also, there are many fun activities and carnival rides for all kids to enjoy!

Also, our parade is held on the last Saturday during the ALF week. Students, athletes, dancers, and our homecoming court are able to participate and be part of the parade.

For the entire week, thousands of people attend this event every year and Clarion always has a good turn out.  Autumn Leaf Festival is an event you cannot miss!

We hope you enjoy! :)
