Students enjoy inflatables, games, cotton candy, and more at Cornell Class Councils’ first Big Red Carnival. The event aimed to bring together the Cornell community and promote school pride.
Over 1,000 students flocked to Barton Hall for Cornell’s first Big Red Carnival — a fun-filled evening of games, food and performances on Friday night. The event, sponsored by the Cornell Class Councils, aimed to unite the Cornell community and foster a sense of school pride, according to Daniel Engelson ’18, a member of the planning committee. “We want people to feel that Cornell is their home, and the carnival is a step in that direction,” Engelson said. Attractions included games, a photo booth and student performances by Cayuga’s Waiters, Cornell Sitara, Cornell Juggling Team and The Hangovers. The event started out as a “battle of the classes,” in which students from different years and organizations would compete against one another, but was eventually transformed into a school-wide carnival, according to Engelson.
