    School spirit will be the main attraction at this years Sprit Day, planned for Wednesday, Sept. 21. The annual event promises to brings students out of the classroom and on to the front lawn for fun, free food and games.
    Any IVCC student interested can attend the Student Government Association sponsored Spirit Day from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 21. The event will take place at the IVCC campus on the grass just east of the circle drive.
    “Spirit Day was awesome,” said current IVCC student Maggie Rhynes who attended last year’s festivities. “Anything with free food is good with me.”
    Scheduled attractions include a mechanical bull, wax hands, inflatable obstacle course, caricature artist, temporary tattoos, Orbitron, and a dunk tank. A DJ will be present for musical entertainment with free pizza, cookies, and drinks offered. Other events will be sponsored by clubs, organizations, and departments throughout the day as well.
    “We hope that everyone will get involved in Spirit Day,” stated Cory Tomasson, Coordinator of Student Activities.
    “In the past, most of the clubs and organizations, as well as many college departments have been involved in the event. It is a day to have fun, raise awareness about the college’s offerings, and raise funds for organizations. We are hoping to have our largest turn-out ever.”
