Fall Fest

By: Joseph Sapp

The University of Sioux Falls Homecoming was September 19-24, 2022 and there were an abundance of events on campus including Fall Fest. At this event, faculty and volunteer students host carnival-themed events for students to play. This event happened on Friday, September 23 from 6-8 p.m. and was located on campus in the quad where there is an open grass area.

This was a very fun event because there were many games and activities. One of the hottest events was 9 square. Nathan Elias said,“Fall Fest is a really fun homecoming event that brings the carnival feeling right to you. My favorite event so far is 9 square. 9 square is just like four squares but it is played above and it has nine total squares instead of the traditional four.”

When asked what makes Fall Fest fun, Amber Tebbe had an interesting take on it. “I would have to say bringing the whole community of USF together and seeing everyone have fun and have a good time.” Tebbe was hosting an event called pong toss. “ So you have three ping pong balls and there are five cups of water and you have to make the ball in a cup to earn points.” And you can’t have school without some sort of prizes. “There are five jars of candy and students have to guess how many pieces of candy are in the jars. The person closest to the number of pieces wins the jar of candy,” said Jordan Ryder. “ Fall Fest as a whole is really fun for me because we have been planning it for a little over two months and it’s great to finally see the vision come alive and to see everyone having fun and enjoying it.”
