First October Bash Experience

On Wednesday Oct, 5, I attended this year’s October Bash for the first time. I have to admit that it was pretty much a blast. It’s one of the events that Carl Sandburg College offers that really ties in the college feel. It allows students who just go to class and then leave right afterwards to broaden their horizons, get out there and have fun, meet new people and possibly join a club or two.

In my opinion the October Bash did seem a tad bit similar to the fall festival that was at the beginning of the year but honestly that wasn’t such a bad thing. Even though the October Bash did not have as many clubs or group tables set up drawing people into becoming more active in the Sandburg community that the Fall Festival did. The October Bash did however have the same awesome music, even a live rap or two, free food (which is always a plus), energetic people and entertaining games.

One of the clubs that was set up during the October Bash was the Ignite group which I have mentioned in earlier blogs. For those of you who were not able to make it to the October Bash, our Ignite leader and club members came up with the fantastic idea of the spinning wheel! They had this huge spinning wheel by the table, each student or faculty member could walk up and take a spin. There were many options that the arrow could land on. Examples include: a hug, soda pop, candy, chips, a prayer, and a mystery bag! I got to help man the table for a short period of time and to me it felt like a lot of Sandburg students and even teachers were enjoying our game. To all who attended I hope you got a chance to spin the wheel, and for those who weren’t able to attend, there is always next year!

Sincerely,
