BACKYARD BASH
he Backyard Bash, held on June 23rd, transformed our campus into a vibrant hub of laughter, play, and exploration. Kids of all ages bounced with pure delight as they experienced the largest inflatable bouncy house we've ever seen—a farm trailer inflatable complete with an obstacle course and a tractor slide. For the younger attendees, a smaller princess-themed bouncy house and slides provided endless entertainment. The rhythm of the event was set by lively music, inviting families to dance and groove together throughout the day. Thanks to Warrior Grill, free hotdogs and chips were provided, ensuring that everyone had plenty of energy to partake in the festivities. The sidewalks were filled with beautiful artwork and children eagerly immersed themselves in the enormous bubbles. Additionally, the Backyard Bash featured a delightful activity of painting rocks, resulting in a colorful array of personalized treasures. The event catered to the love of reading as well. Families gathered at the library, where stories were read every hour, sparking imagination and fostering a deeper appreciation for books and WVC's community library. In a delightful twist, one of the stories inspired families to engage in a friendly bowling game down the library aisles. Tug of war, cornhole, hula hoops, jump ropes, and various balls provided endless opportunities for friendly competition and energetic fun. Participants also enjoyed exploring the campus while completing peek-and-find cards, an adventurous scavenger hunt that added an extra layer of excitement. Despite the weather being pleasantly cool and slightly overcast, guests at the event were still able to enjoy free snow cones provided by Snoshack. The delightful combination of the refreshing treats and the comfortable outdoor atmosphere added an extra layer of enjoyment for attendees of all ages. Wabash Valley College took great pride in organizing an event that brought families together, fostered connections, and celebrated the spirit of community. The Backyard Bash served as a platform to create lasting memories while emphasizing the importance of play, learning, and togetherness. The event succeeded in bringing people closer, fostering connections, and creating an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. Wabash Valley College is immensely grateful to all the attendees, sponsors, and volunteers who made the Backyard Bash a tremendous success. We look forward to hosting more events that bring happiness, laughter, and cherished memories to our community.
