Earth week wrapped up Friday night with "Do it in the Dark", an event put on by the green quad hall government. I was able to jump into the planning of the event and helped set up and run it. We had multiple events set up throughout the terrace to entertain those who came out to party. We had corn hole, bottle painting, ring toss, face painting and foursquare. Foursquare was a hit and there was a line the entire time, everyone wanted a shot to dethrone the king. We planned for about 200 people to come through and we had about 125-150 throughout the night. We went a little overboard on the food but it added to the fun. We got 40 pizzas from Za's, 12 bags of popcorn the size of a persons torso, lemonade and snowcones. Everyone loved the veggie pizza and snowcones. We probably served 250 snowcones and only went through half a bag of popcorn and gave the rest of the bags away. The event cost about $1000 and was a success. Guests were having a blast and hung out until we started to close everything down. Overall it was a fun experience planning and putting on an event for such a large crowd and everyone's attitude made it fun.
