The Student Program Board/Student Activities Funding Board Carnival and Sigma Pi Pig Roast will be held on Friday, Sept. 5, in the Upper Fields from 7 p.m.-midnight. The Pig Roast, celebrating its 14th year, is a fixture of Welcome Week’s fun-filled series of events ushering in the fall semester.
"This event has a fun, great atmosphere to hang out and meet new people," said Billy Flatt, event coordinator. "This year we have three bands and a DJ, more food and more games."
The pig roast will be held alongside the third annual SPB/SAFB carnival, an event featuring a vast assortment of action-packed activities.
“We have a wide range of activities for every student, including bumper cars, inflatable basketball, midway games, Turbo Tubs and a new ride called Bonzi Bikes where students race each other in a 360-degree circle,” said Amanda Vanderford, SPB chairperson.“There will also be a variety of classic carnival food, including elephant ears, snow cones, cotton candy, popcorn and caramel apples.”
The pig roast and carnival are free to OU students.
