SUBJECT: Day 2 of ÐÓ°É´«Ã½’s annual fall celebrations ramps up the fun coast to coast
DATE: October 27, 2010
Yesterday’s official opening of MUNdays got the party started and Day 2 continues with ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University’s annual fall celebrations on campuses in Corner Brook and St. John’s.
Anticipation has been building for weeks and today the ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ community will get to visit the Field House from 12-2 p.m. to diversify its skills and talents at the Health Circus by learning a new way to keep our hearts happy. Sample anything from Latin-inspired Zumba dance class to Ultimate Frisbee to Beni Malone’s Wonderbolt circus tricks. Then don’t miss a MUNdays highlight at the Rant like Rick contest, where one ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ student will be crowned this year’s champion and receive $1,000 in cash for their best Rick Mercer-style rant. This year, the East Rock Crew will perform a breakout breakdancing routine sometime during the rants. It happens from 3:30-5 p.m. in The Landing, University Centre.
Another $1,000 is at stake at this year’s Outside the Box Challenge, where teams compete in a series of mind-boggling contests from 7-10 p.m. in the MUN gym, PE-2000.
In the evening, check out international students belting out their favourite tunes in their native tongue at International YouTube Karaoke Night from 8-11 p.m. at Bitters pub. Finish the night at The Breezeway’s Open Mic Night which gets started at 10:30 p.m.
Grenfell Campus
The fun continues in Corner Brook with Fall Advising Daze from
10:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at Crossroads in the Arts and Science building, and an exploration of the ancient Chinese art of Qi Gong from 2-3 p.m. in the gymnasium of the Arts and Science building.
And try out Caddy Stacks: Library Mini Golf, where you can show off your putting skills at the library’s mini golf course made of – what else? – books! Get a hole-in-one on the spiral staircase and win a prize. It’s all happening from 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. at the Ferris Hodgett Library.
Then, at 3:30 p.m., the brisk Campus Dash kicks off I Fell for Grenfell’s Official Launch and Barbecue. Join the crowd at the GCSU Food Court and back lawn of the Arts and Science building for an obstacle course and end-of-summer eats.
In the evening, take in a Green Book Event by Wayne Roberts, author of The No-Nonsense Guide to World Food. It will be a night of ideas, live music, an art exhibition, a book signing, hors d’oeuvres and cash bar. Show up for 7 p.m.
More information about I Fell for Grenfell is available online. Meantime, a schedule for I Love MUNdays is also on the web.
