Students enjoy games, prizes while waiting
Students had the chance to meet Yellowcard before its concert Wednesday afternoon at the Virgin College Mega Tour Village.
The event took place in parking lot 18, adjacent to Finch Fieldhouse, from 1 to 6 p.m. when numerous prizes and items were given away.
Allegan sophomore Carrie Lewis, a program board member, said student traffic was pretty steady throughout the day.
“I think it went over really well,” she said. “We’ve done stuff like this in the past and it draws students.”
Columbiaville sophomore Jennifer Shutes said she came to the event because of the meet and greet with platinum recording artist Yellowcard.
“I’m in love with Yellowcard,” she said. “I had to get their autographs.”
Some prizes given out included sets of tickets to the evening’s concert, sponsored by Program Board. Originally there was a raffle but after little response, moderators switched gears.
The last set of tickets were given to Clarkston sophomore Matt Chesley, who beat two others in singing and dancing to a favorite Yellowcard song.
“I had class in Finch,” he said. “I didn’t have tickets so I thought I’d give it a try.”
Chesley also was impressed with the Village, and said it reminded him of “a toned down Warped Tour.”
