A chill is in the air, cornhusks decorate the lampposts, The Hangover is screening on the beach...
It's Fall Fest this weekend at Homewood, co-sponsored by RAB, the Hop, Senior Class Council, Student Life, and the Parents Fund. Bust out your favorite cardigan and scarf - there are free activities and food for everyone Thursday through Saturday.
Start the weekend off with a toast to fall at Nolan's Pub Night on Thursday (9-midnight). Cheap beers are on tap for those 21+, but all students can participate in the Buzztime trivia competition and enter to win a free iPod. Free t-shirts are up for grabs.
Friday celebrates the season with belly laughs and screams of terror. The Buttered Niblets bring their special blend of improv to the Arellano Theater at 8pm.
If you missed the summer blockbusters, head to the beach for a screening of The Hangover (8pm), apple cider, and cookies. HOPtober Fest takes over the freshman quad from 8:30-10:30. Paint a mini pumpkin or enter the pumpkin pie-eating contest. The first 20 students to sign up at 8:30 will race to finish two of these fall favorites. Winners receive Chipotle, Coldstone, or Starbucks gift cards. Free t-shirts will also be available at this event.
Thrill seekers will head to the Alien Laboratory Haunted House on the freshman quad from 9-midnight. Throw yourself into Halloween - RAB promises 1,500 square feet of fright.
Those 21+ can catch a free ride to Federal Hill thanks to Young Alumni Weekend. The buses leave at 9:30pm from the athletic circle and make a drop off at Mother's Grille (www.mothersgrille.com).
Saturday come support the Hopkins women and men's soccer teams with a Tailgate from 12-1pm on the athletic circle. Free hamburgers and hotdogs will be served before the girls take on Gettysburg at one and the boys Dickinson at 4pm.
Seniors looking for job leads should head to the Career Networking Mixer from 4-7pm in Hodson. Take advantage of our alumni network and remember to dress in business attire. If you're feeling lucky, cash in at Casino Night, 9pm to midnight in the Glass Pavilion. 21+ students can take their winnings to the Tent Party at Bloomberg.
