Grubfest: first of many GC traditions
Last Thursday, students participated in the first GC tradition of the year: Grubfest. By ANDREA BELLEW News Editor Grubfest—one of Georgetown College’s annual traditions—was held Thursday, Sept. 17, in the Quad. As per usual, there was music, mud and water balloons flying through the sky and a slip n’ slide. Many students were there taking advantage of the opportunities provided by the college to have some fun. Makayla Jackson, junior and Program Coordinator of the Georgetown Activities Council (GAC), talked about her experience this year. She was completely covered in mud after only being in the mud pit for a few minutes, and she was having a lot of fun. Jackson said that everything was going really well with Grubfest except that two of the teams did not show up. Even though two groups didn’t show up, she said, “[GAC] made the whole thing work to where all the groups could always be doing something all at the same time and made sure that they had fun.” Freshmen students Shannon Ecklekamp and Jon Morgan both talked about how

much they enjoyed their firsttime experience of Grubfest. Ecklekamp had just come out of the mud pit when asked if she was having fun and she said, “It’s so much; it’s awesome.” When asked how she liked being in the pit amidst all the mud and water balloons, Ecklekamp said, “Yeah, I’ve never really gotten voluntarily dirty before, but it’s so fun. You just get to know people really well, I guess, when you’re throwing mud at each other and getting each other really dirty. It’s a great bonding experience.” As she ended on that note about a great bonding experience, Morgan came up and agreed with her. When asked how he liked Grubfest, Morgan said, “It was awesome! What could be better than some good old competition in the mud?” Grubfest is just one of many Georgetown College traditions which students look forward to each and every year. With it being the first of several annual events to come, students will surely be anticipating what’s in store for the other GC traditions.
