Field Day always takes place the Sunday before classes begin, and is one of my favorite Lake Erie College events. President Victor has all of the LEC students, faculty and staff to his house located on the grounds of the Lake Erie College Equestrian Center for a huge picnic, complete with a DJ, inflatables (jousting and bungee run), a dunk tank, rock climbing, Cornhole, volleyball, even tug-of-war. Transportation is provided from main campus (since the Equestrian Center is about 6 miles away) and seriously, everybody is there!
This year did not disappoint! Competition was heated between Team Green and Team Orange (your team is decided by what color t-shirt you pick up when you walk in). The weather was GORGEOUS – not too hot and not too cold, and the view of Lake Erie was crystal clear from the top of President Victor’s driveway. The highlight for me this year? Watching 3 students being pulled into the pool of mysterious green liquid (okay, so it’s just water with green food coloring) after loosing an intense game of tug-of-war.
Even though Field Day is over and classes are starting, the fun is really just beginning. This is going to be such an exciting year for Lake Erie College; Austin Hall of Math & Science renovations are well underway, and should be open by this time next year. Lake Erie Colleges’ men’s and women’s lacrosse and tennis teams will compete for the first time. Kappa Sigma Fraternity and Gamma Phi Beta Sorority will be installed on campus as the first inter/national Greek organizations in the Colleges’ 150+ year history. Not to mention a slew of speakers, campus activities, horse shows, and more! I can’t wait!
