Frozen turkey in hand, many Southern Illinois University Edwardsville students tried to knock over bowling pins as part of Wednesday’s “Turkey Palooza,” sponsored by the Campus Activities Board (CAB).
“Turkey Palooza” featured games such as turkey bowling, a walnut toss, a cranberry cup toss and a canned food ring toss. The CAB event also included a Thanksgiving-themed photo booth and giveaways of “Turkey Palooza” T-shirts.
More than 230 students participated in SIUE’s longstanding annual event in the Morris University Center Goshen Lounge. There were five stations for students to enjoy, according to Turkey Palooza Event Chair Kelsey Reichert, a junior in the School of Education, Health and Human Behavior.
“It was a fun, free event for students to get into the holiday spirit before the break,” said Dylan Stanley, a graduate assistant with CAB. “Students came out in droves and gobbled up all the Turkey Palooza fun we threw their way!”
