Foaming for homecoming

Students looking for a good, clean Homecoming event found it at the foam party outside of Chik-fil-A, for students to let loose and have some fun.
As house music blasted at the Oct. 20 event, students laughed and took turns wading into the soapy foam pit.
“The music was vibing and inviting,” said Melvin Johnson, freshman business major.
About 20 students at a time were covered head to toe with foam. Strobe lights aimed at the foam created an effect as the light bouncing off the bubbles. Some students wore jeans, and others wore shorts and bathing suits. Harborside Activities Board suggested wearing clothing that wouldn’t be worn again.
Some students shied away from the soapy mess.
“It didn’t look sanitary,” said Erisbel Reynoso, freshman biology major. “I only watched from the sidelines.”
It was a chilly evening and it was made colder by the wet soap. However, students braved the cold air to have fun with their friends and dive into the foam.
Students were able warm up with hot chocolate and desserts served at the snack bar. “The food they provided was delicious; the hot chocolate was comforting,” said Jody Marley, freshman pre-med major.
