Wild West EagleFest 2013
Here is an infographic about EagleFest.
Winthrop University's DiGiorgio Student Union Programming Board, along with Student Life, held their 3rd Annual EagleFest Spring Celebration on Apr. 12.
After a long semester and an even longer year, the event was to be held from 2:30 p.m. until 5 p.m. on Campus Green, but the location was changed to the Lois Rhame West Center due to inclement weather the night before.
Prior to entering the building, the size of the crowd could be depicted by the sounds that seeped out as the doors opened and closed.
Once in the lobby, the only thing in sight were workers in costume as if they were at a saloon during the 1800s, cowboy hats and bandanas being given away and students trying to make their way to the free activities. There was even the sounds of bluegrass band.
It was evident that the theme of this year's EagleFest was wild west related.
Upon entering the gymnasium there were many different free activities people could participate in and receive a ticket. After winning five tickets they were redeemed for an EagleFest 2013 t-shirt.
"This is just what I needed before finals exams. A time to unwind and spend time with my little sister who seems to be enjoying herself," explained Justine Zipp.
Another student, Faith Cook, had the pleasure of riding the mechanical bull and expressed how much she enjoyed it in saying "I've never rode a mechanical bull and I would ride it again if I had another pink ticket."
The event was not only for students. It was open to faculty, staff, family members of students, and people in the surrounding Rock Hill area.
