An­nual Spring Luau Big­ger Than Ever

MISHAWAKA—On April 10, Bethel’s an­nual Spring Luau took place from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. in Suf­fi­cient Grounds Café. There were games, re­fresh­ments, a raf­fle and the tra­di­tional, non-al­co­holic piña co­lada.

Lacey Bark­dull, a fresh­man graphic de­sign ma­jor and the un­der­class­men pres­i­dent for stu­dent coun­cil, as­sisted with the or­ga­ni­za­tion of the luau. Bark­dull said she wanted this year’s luau to stand out from pre­vi­ous years.

“I wanted to in­cor­po­rate more games and more prizes,” said Bark­dull. “We were think­ing if peo­ple win stuff, they’ll be more apt to come next year.”

Games this year in­cluded cup pong, limbo and hula-hoop­ing, and there were about a dozen prizes given away.

Bark­dull hopes that the luau will in­crease in pop­u­lar­ity in the com­ing years.

“I want it to be some­thing peo­ple talk about,” said Bark­dull. “Not many peo­ple re­ally take no­tice of it... I want it to be some­thing that’s a main point of the year that peo­ple get ex­cited for.”
