NJC student group to host Spring Fun Fair

***NJC Press Release***

Fun games on campus for community, children to enjoy this Thursday

If you’ve never had the pleasure of riding a Bungee Bull, or you’ve always wondered what it would be like to stretch out and play on a Giant Twister game, then you won’t want to miss this Thursday’s Spring Fun Fair on the campus of Northeastern Junior College.

The Northeastern Junior College Student Ambassadors are hosting a special family and campus event this Thursday afternoon, April 5^th. They have contracted with a company to bring in Giant Jenga, Giant Monster Trikes, Bungee Bull Riding, and Giant Twister to be set up in the Bank of Colorado Event Center auxiliary gym for everyone’s playing enjoyment. In addition, some dance contests will be held, utilizing Xbox games. Some limited refreshments will be available at the event. 

On Thursday, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., all area families are invited to come to the gym and have some fun with their children.   Parents and children can try their hand at playing Giant Jenga or Giant Twister and riding the monster trikes and the bungee bull. It will be the most excitement to hit Sterling since the Logan County Fair’s carnival rides left town.

Beginning at  6:30 p.m., the small children will be cleared out and games will be available only for high school age students and older for two hours. The event will shut down at 8:30 p.m.

According to Stephanie Weatherill, club sponsor for the NJC Student Ambassadors, the group wanted to do something that would bring the college and the community together at the beginning of the spring season. In past years the college has held Multi-Cultural Carnivals  in the spring that were popular events, drawing in a good number of local families. The Ambassadors are asking for a small admission price from the public to help offset the cost of renting the various giant games and bringing them to town as an entertainment venue. The group hopes to make a few extra dollars as well, allowing the event to also serve as a fundraiser.

The cost to attend the Spring Fun Fair is $4 per family or $2 per person, payable at the door. NJC students will attend the event free. This event is supported in part by the Associated Student Government on campus, using student fees to cover some of the cost.
