Inflat-A-Fools
In celebration of April Fool’s Day, The Village Council unloaded four gigantic inflatables, hamburgers, hot dogs, and sodas for the relaxed Inflat-A-Fools event held at West Campus on the soccer field below Sandella’s.
Brayli James, vice president of The Village, took the lead in making the event happen.
“It’s here to have a good time, let off some steam, and keep that Spring Break filling alive,” James said.
The Village Council and volunteers supervised most of the inflatables; however, the staff of Amusement Masters ran the mechanical bull which students appeared most hesitant to try out.
“It’s very intimidating every time,” said Kacey Fox freshman criminal justice major. “But it’s fun once you get on and take it by the horns. Then it’s okay until it tilts you forward.”
Some brave souls leapt on the bucking, swiveling bull immediately and stayed around to encourage others to try. Emily Routh, a sophomore biology major, was one of the first students on the bull, and while her knees hurt afterward, she said the experience was worth having.
“It’s not college until you ride a mechanical bull,” Ruth said.
Even so, many students found the jousting, bungie run and obstacle course inflatables more approachable. Sarah Taylor, a sophomore special education major, went up against her roommate in the ring.
“It’s a good way to be able to hit her and not get in trouble. And I won,” Taylor said.
Complete exhaustion, sweat, sunburns, and a few minor cuts and bruises were unavoidable side effects for most students.
