It’s Carnival Time

LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 22, 2016) — Come out and celebrate the end of the semester with SAB’s Traditions and Campus Life committees from noon to 6 p.m., April 23, at the Good Barn Field, also known as the Orange Lot Expansion. Have fun and relax while enjoying some carnival rides, games, prizes, food trucks, booths and much more.

Come experience one of the largest and most exciting events SAB has to offer before the stress of finals begins! The Big Blue Carnival lets students have a little bit of fun with their friends before the semester is over. Eat funnel cakes like your city fair back home while you listen to DJ Warren Peace jam out.

“Students should come to this event because it’s a great opportunity to bond over a great year coming to an end," said Jill Marks, director of campus life. "Finals are quickly approaching. The Big Blue Carnival is the time to celebrate a year filled with accomplishments, sports and memories with friends before the hectic study hours get the best of us.”

Upon arrival, each student will receive a free ticket that allows them a single “meal special” from the food truck of their choice. Dress comfortably and be ready to have fun.
