Don't worry about being bored this weekend. Lyndon has many exciting events planned for this years Family and Homecoming Weekend.

Family and Homecoming Weekend is the perfect time to invite your family and friends to visit. Not only can you and your family enjoy time in the beautiful North East Kingdom, but also there are numerous events occurring that you don't want to miss!

Do you want to see an incredibly amusing and exceptionally unique performance? Well, tonight, at 8 p.m. in the standard gymnasium, the Campus Activities Board happily presents the Harlem Wizards! These athletes will blow you out of your seats with pure athleticism, teamwork skills, and humorous entertainment!

This game is going to be crammed with plenty of comedy and talent, but in addition you can expect audience interaction.

"We wanted a program that everyone, young and old would enjoy. Additionally, this performance allows us to involve members of the student body as well as alumni," says Kayla Carlozzi, student activities coordinator here at Lyndon.

Tonight at 8:00 the event will begin. Doors will open at 7:00, so be sure to get there early for good seats. Students with ID will get in free, but all others will need to pay $5.00. So, be sure not to miss this exciting performance— it will definitely be worth it!

On Saturday the fun events continue. Another amusing experience, that you and your family will enjoy—roller derby! Yes, roller derby.

Brian Stone, president of the Campus Activities Board, says, "It's something different. Not many other colleges have a roller derby team come to their school."

The Green Mountain Derby Dames, from Vermont will be making their second appearance here at Lyndon State, and the expectations are high.

"Last year, over 200 people came and there wasn't a single person that left unsatisfied," says Carlozzi.

Stone adds, "Last year it was not just the students who loved it, it was the faculty members and community members that enjoyed it as well."

So this year, be sure you are one of those 200 people. Saturday night, at Fenton Chester Arena, the doors will open at 5 p.m. and the show will start at 5:30 p.m. All Lyndon students with ID will get in free, kids will pay $4 and adults will pay $8.

In addition, throughout the weekend there will be other numerous events occurring. An ice cream social will take place on campus Saturday afternoon.

Then there will be the Centennial Birthday Bash, with plenty of entertainment— music, karaoke, a caricature artist, a magician, and birthday cake!
