- The Collegian/Asburian
Without any bias, the Collegian table excelled to the top during this year’s Activities Fair. With its welcoming and infectious staff holding down the table, no one was quick to skip it. Representing the university newspaper and yearbook, the organizations provided sign-ups for various writing and layout editing jobs, a raffle for a free Hiccup drink, and super cute stickers.
2. Tumbling Team
Two words, fire breathing. The tumbling team showcased its fire-taming ability by filling the crowd with awe (and, in some cases, pure fear) when performing this dazzling stunt. The team members, at their table, also did various stunt techniques with one another and on trampolines. Along with the décor of mid-flip pictures featuring team members, there were also sign ups and a Hiccup drink raffle. OK, so maybe the tumbling team should have been No. 1 but this is my list.
3. Adventure Leadership
The adventure leadership display resembled the same realistic camping feel that was shown in Friday the 13th’s Camp Crystal Lake- without the serial killer. Up to ten hammocks lined the trees on the semi-circle green, the tallest one reaching over 30 feet. Numerous canoes and tents sat advertising the program’s upcoming overnight canoe trip. The outdoorsy wonder showcase through the adventure leadership display would inspire anyone to sign up and roast a marshmallow over the campfire.
4. Pose Story Yoga
“What is this?” many of the students asked as they passed by Stephanie Wier’s trapeze-like fabric contraption behind her. A blend of yoga and CrossFit, Wier’s “Pose Story Yoga” classes are beginner-friendly ways of working out on your feet, in the air, or even sometimes upside down. At the table, passerby participation was encouraged by Wier, who helped students replicate yoga poses on the supportive prop.
5. Justin’s Place
Bunnies!! Do we really need to say anything else? “A therapeutic farm for extraordinary kids,” drew in smiles with two little bunnies hopping around in their cages. The program aids 4–12-year-old’s with diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder or Down Syndrome by lessons and relationships with loving animals. Justin’s place has already invited Asbury students to volunteer with them, and their furry friends were hoping to encourage more to sign-up.
