Dining services is holding their annual picnic Wenesday at the campus pond and the pavilion across from Fourth Street from 4 to 7p.m.

The picnic will have a disc jockey, food, special events, prizes and games. Students can participate in the cookie walk, spin the wheel and a cereal contest for a chance to win prizes.

Prizes include t-shirts, prize packs, mugs, and one lucky winner will take home a bike from General Mills, said Sheila Epperson, assistant director at Taylor Dining Hall.

“We like to do something special for the students to show them Panther Dining cares,” Epperson said.

Hot dogs, brats, chips, vegetable trays, cookies, soda and apples will be served. There will also be an ice cream vendor, Epperson said.

“Students should come out. There will be fun, food, and it beats the monotony they have had all year. It is like a pre-exam stress breaker,” Epperson said. “Everything we do is for the students.”

Students and the public are welcome to this event and may use their Panther Card, dining dollars or cash.

All dining centers will be closed for the picnic. The food court and Carman’s store will stay open, as well as late night pizza at Thomas Hall.

“This event goes on every year, since the 13 years I have been here, as long as the weather permits,” Epperson said.
