The Center for Student Leadership & Engagement invites students and families to put on their biggest belt buckles and shiniest spurs for our annual Family Weekend Carnival, this year featuring a wild west theme! Taking place on Saturday, October 26th, you’ll want to git your lil’ doggies to the Clemens Fieldhouse in the Haehn Campus Center at CSB from 2-5pm. Buckaroos and Buckarettes alike won’t want to miss this yee-haw of an event, featuring a mechanical bull, a cattle-roping game, bouncy pony rides, inflatable axe throwing, a photo booth, and a bounce house for the kiddos. We also will have a stuff-a-critter station and cowboy/cowgirl hat decorating for you to enjoy. With all that activity, you’ll want to rustle up some grub at the caramel apple bar, mini donut stand, or popcorn and cotton candy machines! It’s fun for cowpokes of all ages!
