Harrier Sweatpants: Success!

Yesterday we had one of our most popular student activities of the year:  Harrier Sweatpants!  This event has continually garnered an overwhelmingly positive response from students and this year was no exception.  Our event started at 12 pm.   Here's what it looked like in Schwarm at 11:40 am:

People were lined up to the door by 11:45 am, so we decided to just start early.  Here's the premise of the event:  you swipe your student ID and receive a free pair of sweatpants. 

Turns out?  PEOPLE LOVE FREE SWEATPANTS.  Like, a lot.  We had 100 pairs of sweatpants and they were all gone after 30 minutes.

People then stuck around to use our tons of crafty supplies to decorate their sweatpants and make them awesome.  We had iron-on letters, puffy paint and stencils for people to use.  The iron-on letters proved to be extremely popular, given the line for the two irons (behind the table in the foreground):

People did some really cool designs on their sweatpants.  Take a look at some examples:

And today, someone stopped in to say thanks and she was wearing hers!

November is probably my favorite month for events - we have Casino Night coming up in a couple of weeks!

On Monday, we celebrated Halloween with some:
