It came and went...

Homecoming has come and gone and does anyone even know who won king and queen for 2008? The winners just in case anyone was wondering were Matt Williams and Heather Schwager. But that wasn't even the main headline of the whole homecoming weekend. Homecoming weekend this year was called "Hurst Fest." Hurst Fest combined homecoming, parents weekend, and fall fest. There were so many festivities that i do not think it was possible for anybody of any age to not find something to do. There was a barbecue before the football game, the football team won and their season is looking good, again. After the football game there were inflatables and side games such as a hot dog eating contest, a pie eating contest and many more. While the parents and alumni and students were enjoying the inflatables the womens hockey team opened up there season with a home game as well after the football game was finished. The Womens team won in dominating fashion. Overall it was a succesful weekend with both teams really dominating their opponents. This was the first year they decided to combine all three events and if you chose to take part in all of the festivites from the "tail gate" all the way till the end of the inflatables you would have been going from 11 am till 7 pm. It was a long saturday filled with fun for the whole family. I asked several students that were at the game after the festivities and asked them do you know who won this years king and queen, and they replied "no? who did?" The Hurst Fest weekend was a success but as i blogged about earlier no one really cares or pays attention to who wins king and queen at Mercyhurst.
