The Last Hoorah

 Late at Lane is a new addition given to the school by Frostburg State University. This event is sponsored by our very own Student Government Association, and it was created by the students, for the students. Late at Lane started out as an idea that turned into an initiative in which students could find a fun alternative on the weekends. Each event is partnered with a theme and the last event of the semester, fittingly tilted “The Last Hoorah” sent students home satisfied,  giving peers an opportunity to spend some quality time with one another before going home for the holidays. Students put their mind at ease before finals and engaged in games, enjoyed delicious food, and won amazing prizes.  The event lasted from 10 pm to 2 am. Some of the activities included at Late at Lane were a black ops tournament, where students engaged in some friendly competition with their classmates, meanwhile increasing their scores and reaching higher levels. There was also an interactive jeopardy-like game show, featuring actual Frostburg students. The winner of the game show received a 200 dollar cash prize. For fans of American Idol, there was a Live Band Karaoke stand for promising singers and hopefuls to enjoy. Students also experienced cutting edge illusionist Jason Bishop for the night. Also featured, was a “Capture the Moment Stand” which produced photo mugs, and caricatures. Some of the prizes to win this time were the Ipad 2, TVs, and also a GPS navigation system.

Another exciting feature of Late at Lane, is that each event plays a popular movie matching different genres. The movie of choice at this event, "The Last Hoorah" was Bourne Legacy, starring Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz and directed by Tony Gillroy. The movie premiered in August of 2012. The most important thing about Late at Lane is that each event is diverse. It gives plenty of options that almost anyone is sure to love.  Student responses were very positive. Aryn Brown, a psychology major states “These events are just really fun. I like that the campus offers something for students to do on the weekends instead of just sitting at home." Essence Moseley,  a biology major states “I like that each event has a theme, and there are different types of foods you can try and different prizes each time, it makes it different and not boring.” Deidra Harris, an early childhood education major, also enjoys the atmosphere of the events. She states “They are just a lot of fun. I always enjoy going with my friends and just hanging out.”  There has said to be even more innovative surprises in store next year for Late at Lane.  So whether students stop by for a quick night of fun, or just to enjoy what each sponsored event brings, Late at Lane is there to provide some new fresh and exciting games and prizes.
