Cam­pus Ac­tiv­i­ties Plans Bar­b’s Barn Bash

MISHAWAKA- On Nov. 11, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Bethel will be cel­e­brat­ing fall with its pres­i­dent at “Bar­b’s Barn Bash.” This event re­places the “Pres­i­den­t’s Pump­kin Party” cel­e­brated in pre­vi­ous years and will take place at the home of Pres­i­dent Barb Belle­feuille, Ed.D. The bash will fea­ture plenty of games, food, drinks and more. 

Al­li­son Nicholas, stu­dent ac­tiv­i­ties and com­mu­ni­ca­tion co­or­di­na­tor, is help­ing to plan the event. She said the pre­vi­ous fall event re­volved pri­mar­ily around pump­kins. 

“There were sev­eral dif­fer­ent sta­tions,” Nicholas said. “Pump­kins paint­ing, pump­kin carv­ing, pump­kin smash­ing, and pump­kin bowl­ing.” 

While there will still be pump­kins at this year’s bash, they will not be the fo­cus of the event. Rather, the party will have a va­ri­ety of fall ac­tiv­i­ties. 

“We are go­ing to have square danc­ing, cup pong, bon­fires, and caramel ap­ple dip­ping,” Nicholas said. “It’s fun things where stu­dents can come and hang out.” 

To keep with the fall theme of the party, Nicholas sug­gested that stu­dents wear flan­nels.
