Spring Fling Attracts Large Crowd
Samantha Aldridge staff writer
On April 23, PVCC students and the community gathered outside to attend the school’s annual Spring Fling. The weather was in the high 80’s setting a beautiful scene for the events happening. Bouncy houses, mechanical bulls, and great music all helped create positive vibes for Spring Fling 2019.
As the DJ played, people danced while laughter filled the air. The DJ played great songs perfect for small children and the students, People danced all around while small laughs and talk filled the air.
The DJ said, “What is spring fling without a little bit of dancing?” While some people watched the festivities and ate food, others took part in the activities. Near the lawn area people played volleyball and soccer.
Upon entering the Spring Fling, the Student Government Association (SGA) required waivers to participate in the activities. The waiver itself was not long, making it easy to get straight to the fun.
Attendees had the option of putting their name into a raffle for PVCC merchandise and gift cards.
I walked past multiple corn hole boards, people playing various games and the big velcro wall. The owner of the velcro wall said, “I saw a twelve-year-old flip upside down onto the wall and I even got a picture of it.”
I was not lucky enough to see someone upside down on the velcro wall but I got to see my friends and peers attempt to get stuck to the sticky wall.
The bull threw students left and right. The mechanical bull operator asked, “Do you want the easy setting or the hard setting?” The choice made by the students decided how fast and hard they would fall off the bull.
I saw many students who were confident they could stay on there the longest get thrown off in two seconds. The mechanical bull definitely humbled some people that day.
Overall, Spring Fling 2019 was a big success. Students, faculty, and the community all came together on a beautiful Tuesday evening to enjoy the activities offered by PVCC.
SGA President Sophia Keniston even mentioned, “this has been the best turnout for an event in 2019.”
