Patriots Day
Patriots Day Pleases Participants Last week Mason celebrated Patriots Day; an annual precursor to Mason Day hosted each fall by Planning Board. The lively carnival pulled a crowd of students eager to join in the festivities. Attendees enjoyed attractions, games, live entertainment including a performance by Sub Radio Standard and delicious carnival treats. Several student organizations used the event to raise money for their causes or to recruit new members.
