Campus Activities Board (CAB) will host Lawn-A-Palooza on Saturday, April 9 on the front lawn. The event will include live music, craft vendors, games, prizes, food and more.<\/p>\n
This is the first year CAB will hold Lawn-A-Palooza, which will be from 2-10 p.m., with live music beginning around 3 p.m.<\/p>\n
According to Logan Light, director of campus life, the idea for Lawn-A-Palooza was inspired by the success of women’s clubs Zeta Rho and Delta Nu functions where the clubs brought in bands for live entertainment.<\/p>\n
“This event is taking place of what the (Harding Spectacular) would be,” Light said. “We knew we wanted a community event, so we were looking for reasons why students would want to come out.”<\/p>\n
Light said that Lawn-A-Palooza will have several activities, such as mini golf, a cookie bake-off, giveaways and food sponsored by local restaurants.<\/p>\n
Junior Holland Wilson, who will sing at the event with her group Peach Jam, is looking forward to the opportunity to have fun while performing with her friends.<\/p>\n
“I hope (Lawn-A-Palooza) will become an annual thing,” Wilson said. “It’s cool to showcase the talent that we have at Harding, and music festivals are always fun anyway.”<\/p>\n
Vendors including student artwork and crafts will be available for purchase. Senior Katie Akin’s booth will feature handmade wall hangings and tassel banners.<\/p>\n
Light said he looks forward to the event bringing the student body together.<\/p>\n
“I love when we have events that students can, in the middle of the event, look around and find themselves in a place and think, \u2018This is really fun; this is really cool,'” Light said. “Anything that will bring about community and camaraderie among students is what we aim to do.”<\/p>\n
According to Wilson, each band must do a 30-45-minute set. For bands like Peach Jam, the issue is not building up a set, but rather cutting down on the amount of songs they can perform.<\/p>\n
“I’m excited to show people what we’ve been working on,” Wilson said. “It’s really fun, and I think other people will enjoy it, too.”<\/p>\n
Light said he is most looking forward to watching a band made up of faculty and staff, including assistant professor of Bible Ross Cochran, as well as a band whose instruments include a guitar shaped like an ax.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“(Students) can expect a good time,” Light said. “It’s going to be like a campus function. Everyone is invited.”<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
