BU Student Representative Council invites the community to its Winter Carnival
Bishop’s University’s Student Representative Council (SRC) is delighted to present a Winter Carnival to bring the community together. The SRC has planned activities for all ages at 2600 College St.from Thursday, Jan. 19 inthe evening and through to Sunday, Jan. 22.
For those with young children, the SRC has arranged horse drawn sleigh rides around campus and games, which run on Saturday from about 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. There are no admission costs. The Big Buddies group on campus will be participating in the outdoor events with the kids.
Snowboarders and skiers 16 and over won’t want to miss Saturday’s event from 12:30-6:00 p.m. Admission to the SRC’s Rail Jam is $1 and that provides access to what resembles a snow park where participants will compete. Those 18 or older are invited to sign up and show their skills and, hopefully, win a prize.
The outdoor courtyard, commonly known as The Quad, is located near the entrance of the campus and will have a tent village. The village will offer beverages and other goodies such as beaver tails. The work of a professional will be featured.
The Gait will host two concerts for the weekend. For $5.00 you can enjoy a Daft Punk tribute band on Thursday (doors open at 11 p.m.). On Saturday you can catch the world-renowned D.J. Zeds Dead for $25. Doors will open for this concert at 10 p.m.
The organizers wish to thank all the volunteers for helping out and putting together a varied program. The goal of the weekend is to bring the Bishop’s and Champlain students together, and to include the community members of Lennoxville and their families. So make sure you bundle up and come out to enjoy the activities!
