UAlbany Fountain Day 2007 lives up to all the hype it turns out to be. I will never look at the podium the same way again with all the festivities and all the people dancing the chicken noodle, playing carnival games, tossing the beach ball up in the air! Even Dean Pryse joined in as a volunteer staff for the day!Around 2:30pm they opened up the main fountain area and a flood of students took off their shoes and socks and dipped into the fountain. Then a few minutes to 3pm there was a count down where they blasted the large fountain to commence this season! We couldn't have planned for better weather. It was perfect in almost everyway. So hot that many people wore shorts, bikinis, t-shirts. Student Life transformed the podium into a carnival-like atmosphere with laser tag, bop-em jousting, hot dogs, fried dough.
What a great way to spend a beautiful Sunday as a university community! OH! and I love the pirate ducky! ARRrrrrrrggg....
Since the weather was so beautiful, afterwards I went to see the sunset in East Greenbush with a view just looking over Empire Plaza and University at Albany Campus. *sigh* Life is good...
