November Event Coverage

November Event Coverage

            On Saturday November 17, 2012 Frostburg State University treated the students to another entertaining Late @ Lane Night. The theme for this extravaganza was based on, “A Night at the Boardwalk.” Frostburg staff really knows how to stick to the script; they had this boardwalk and carnival theme touch down pack. They had an amateur night going on in the Amah where FSU students could go and showcase their musical talents. In that spacious room they performed a lot of country music just like you would hear if you was walking down a live boardwalk deck. As soon as you walk in the Lane Center there was dart throwing and bean bag toss contest like a legit carnival. They also provided the same exact junk food as a real boardwalk experience. They had corndogs, pretzels, slushies, and chocolate covered bananas. On this particular night Frostburg gave you the option to close your eyes and let your imagination run wild. While watching the students play like big kids it seemed only appropriate to get their input on this event.

            The first interviewee was Whitney Davis who came there with her group of friends. When Whitney was asked about what makes this event special she replied, “We were sitting in the house extremely bored with nothing to do so we decided to shoot over here for some fresh air. I think that this is a great experience for a person that never been to a place like Atlantic City.” She thinks that this is a neat way that Frostburg brought the fun of the boardwalk to them. The second interviewee was Tonnisha Rogers who was a bartender for the event. When she was asked about the overall success of the event she replied, “I think that we had a successful turn out, and the staff and I really worked our butts off with this creation. She said that it was really a task to think of creative ways to put that type of large theme in a small building setting. The third interviewee was a guy named Thomas Gibson. Thomas was asked did he enjoy himself and he stated, “I still say the best Late @ Lane theme was the first one with the casino arrangement.” He then went on to say, “I had a lot of fun tonight because it is usually so boring on campus and this gives students a recreational activity. He believes that when boredom strikes that is when people tend to get themselves in trouble because they didn’t have anything to entertain or keep them occupied. There have been three Late @ Lane Night themes so far, and all three events have received good feedback from the campus. Some people believe that these shindigs are nothing but parties in disguise, and that FSU wants to change it up to eliminate the negative factors that come with parties sometimes.
