Penguin Nights Goes West
HOWDY Y'ALL! Come on out to Penguin Nights, Friday, March 20 from 10:00pm-2:00am to see if this campus isn't big enough for the two of us. There will be a mechanical bull to ride to test your rodeo skills, cornhole, food, and "Not Your Granny's Bingo". All night you can bet on the horse of your choice with the "Night at the Races" happening in the Hub or have a caricature artist draw you the perfect sketch as a keepsake of the night. After that, take the Old Town Road to the dance floor and have yourself a good old-fashioned hoedown and square dance with your fellow Penguins!
