CAB Co-director Lindsay Dahl explains what Bongo Ball is.

“Bongo ball has blow up obstacles and you wear a helmet and chest protector,” Dahl said. “There are two teams and you shoot nerf balls at each other.”

The photo booth and donut run are activities that CAB tries to have at least once a semester. The donut run allows students to get two donuts and a milk or juice. The donuts were decorated with black and yellow sprinkles this semester.

CAB member Bethany Cobbs tells us why they choosethe activities that they do.

“The mentalist was chosen because it is a different and unique interactive entertainment that students usually like,” Cobb said. “We decided to have a dance again because there was a dance at homecoming as well. It is a groove themed dance and we want it to have a "club" feeling.”
