When you get to college, it’s official, childhood is over. Wrong!!! This weekend, SCOPE had a second childhood planned for the campus that was set up in the quad. Who says that childhood should end? Every once in a while, people need to relax and just have fun, forgetting about the stress of the previous week. Those days of childhood fun are great memories for everyone, and this Saturday, SCOPE made sure that we could experience those once again.

Set up in the Bixler-Botwinik quad were giant inflatables, big games, cotton candy, and sno-cones. Nothing makes you want to stop and see what’s going on more than when you see a moon bounce, cotton candy, and a polar bear sno-cone machine, and that’s the truth. Starting from 5:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m., people could come and enjoy being a kid again, either by jumping in the moon bounce, sliding down the big inflatable slide, playing Connect Four or Twister, and enjoying cotton candy and sno-cones. There was a great turn out to the event, especially as the evening progressed. More and more people lined up for twister and cotton candy, while the moon bounce was never still.

It is events like these that make weekends fun here at UNH. A lot of times, many of these events include the “all time favorite” free stuff. Who wouldn’t want free cotton candy? That was the line to be in apparently that evening. If you missed out on all of this fun, there’s no need to worry, because eventually this event will be back. But, until then, there are always this week’s events to look forward to.
