Lakeside Dining Hall was buzzing due to all the excitement. The hall was transformed into a big top tent full of decorations and music. Different stations in Lakeside featured traditional fair foods and goodies. Crowd favorites included candy apple decorating, funnel cake fries and a pretzel machine. Students kept coming back for more spareribs and chocolate-dipped foods. At the far side of the dining hall, multiple games were set up alongside a photo booth complete with crazy hats and feather boas. Laughter and enjoyment abounded.
