Quad is a scene for Campus Kick-off

AHAINA's booth had cool games & prizes.

Hundreds, I mean HUNDREDS of people are strolling along the quad walkways and picking up some awesome Green & Gold gear.

I've seen amazing cool stuff --- giant laundry bags, caribiners, Frisbees, yo-yos, water bottles, pens, cookies, cupcakes. There's great live music, amazing acrobats, and free food for students with a wolf card.  From our booth at Green & Gold I can hear Seawolf Thunder bucket band rolling through its rhythms, pulling in a pretty big crowd. Lively!

This giant festival continues  through 7 p.m. and then other festivities take over.  Here's a few shots from the day, which despite its damp beginning delivered dry skies and even some breakthrough sunshine!

Next up, the comedy show!
