Starting at 11:00 am and running until 2:00 pm on Wednesday, September 3rd<\/sup>, Miami University held it\u2019s annual Fall Fest, welcoming students to the campus both for the first time and for another semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather for the event was a warm, sunny day, a curious break in the cool spell the area has seen over the past few weeks. Several staff and students agreed that it made for a very odd experience to see leaves changing and falling while the temperature was in the eighties.<\/p>\n\n\n

Stands included games such as wheel-spins for prizes, clubs including Playlist and the Dungeons and Dragon\u2019s, and student government and advisory groups.<\/p>\n\n\n

While this year\u2019s Fall Fest lacked the grill-out that was included in the Fall Fests and Spring Flings of previous semesters, they did still have the ever-popular Flub\u2019s ice cream truck, which served creamy soft serve until 1 o’clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the stands included news, such as Professor Diedra Jacobsen<\/a>, who received a grant to hopefully install new signs and benches leading to the small bogs behind the campus conservatory.<\/p>\n\n\n

Others were simply focused around common interests.<\/p>\n\n\n

One of these games, disc golf, seemed to be rather obscure, but proved to be very popular with those who tried it.<\/p>\n\n\n
