Back to the ’60s: WSU Block Party

Friday, August 26th, 2011 Weber State University had their seventh annual Wildcat Block Party, themed “Blast Back to the ’60s. The whole place was covered with tie dye, and peace signs while The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and other ’60s music filled the air.

What is the Block Party?

The Block Party is one of the biggest events on campus all year. It’s goal is to help students learn about services, clubs, departments, and organizations across campus. Students can get information about everything from the Wrestling Team, the Women’s and Nontraditional center, Davis Campus, Veterans Services, Health Professions, and Botany. “Sometimes people can be intimidated by office situations…we want to make it a fun and relaxed environment where students can approach a booth and ask questions, play games and get to know the university better,” said Nikki Nicolas, the chairwoman of the event.

WSU Summer Tour: Davis County Fair

Megan shows off her new lasso skills.

The 2011 Davis County Fair wrapped up this weekend after four days of everything from snake charmers to Elvis cutouts. We played Just Dance at our booth and had a lot of fun with the fair-goers who were willing to shake their groove thing. We also tried to pick up some important fair skills, check out the videos below.

The pigs at the fair were massive, and sooooo tasty.

Megan was hogging the mechanical bull the whole time.

Our team from Continuing Education visited the Weber County Fair and got a crash course on everything from what to feed your pigs to mechanical bull riding. Check out these great pics and video.

Lots of blue ribbon animals.

We tried to trade them t-shirts for a puppy. We really want an office puppy.
