This Friday will kick off the first day of Spring Fest sponsored by Campus Activities Board (CAB) and Tech Crew at Ashland University.

“Spring Fest is a good way to relax and have one big get together before our seniors leave us,” Jenna Shepherd a first year member said.

Live band karaoke with Buffalo Wild Wings will be hosted on Friday in Redwood from nine to eleven p.m.

Saturday’s activities will be filled with food trucks consisting of burgers, hot dogs, cupcakes, pulled pork, pierogies, smoothies, and many more options.

“I am looking forward to hanging out with friends and eating from the food trucks,”  Shianne Herrera a senior at the University said.

Dunk tanks, extreme trampoline, one hundred foot obstacle course, caricature artists, henna artists, and so much more will be happening on founders lawn from three to seven p.m. on saturday the 29th.

“My favorite part of Spring fest is watching people fail at all of the inflatable obstacles courses,” Herrera said.

Along with events hosted by CAB and Tech Crew the sororities and fraternities here at AU will be hosting their own events.

Phi Kappa Phi will be having a dog kissing booth supporting their philanthropy for Boys and Girls Club of America, Alpha Delta Pi will be holding a Pie and Pi, Alpha Phi with Teeter Totters, along with prayer stations via Newman.

“Dogs are known to be calming and therapeutic, so we are hoping to help students relax a bit before finals week,” Morgan Durrell, a member of the sorority Alpha Phi, who is helping with the dog kissing booth said.

“I am thankful to go to a college that cares so much about it’s students and goes that extra mile to make sure we have fun while we are here,” Shepherd said, “College is such a social experience and it’s nice that they’re helping us make such good memories.”

Be sure to keep a look out for the official Spring Fest secret announcements which will be out on Saturday at three p.m.
