Around 90 attend ‘Crafting into Fall’

RLA hosted “Crafting Into Fall,” in the Hub at 6 p.m. on Monday. About 90 students attended the event. 

Students were provided with blank, white canvases and then they chose from a variety of paint colors, glitter, stencils and paint brushes to use for their crafts. Students picked a table, which were decorated with green or white tablecloth, and began painting while music played in the background. Domino’s pizza and pop were provided for students to snack on while they were crafting. 

Lily Umeta, 21, junior of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, said she puts this event on for RLA in the fall and spring semester. 

“I don’t have a specific reason for putting on this event other than people like to paint,” Umeta said. 

Cynthia Clark, 21, junior of Scottsbluff, participated in the fun.

 “It gives me a minute to relax, calm down and forget about work for a minute,” she said. 

The budget for this event was $340 and they used $216, making it $124 under budget.
