On April 1, NSU hosted their second annual Fins Festival. In preparation for this event, a representative of The Current went out the day before Fins Fest took place and asked people what their hopes were for the event, and what they pictured as their “dream” carnival. Fins Festival ended up attracting hundreds of students and delivered on many of the hopes that students had for their “dream” carnival.
“Probably the typical fair attraction. Fair food, fair games, fair rides, things like that. I really love the carnival games that have cool prizes, like stuffed animals,” said Lauren Do Nascimento, junior communication major, featured on the right.
“I would probably like to see a ferris wheel, some bumper cars, cotton candy, and definitely a turkey leg stand. I love the festival games, but I definitely would like some good carnival food,” said Julianna Bonetti, freshman chemistry major.
“I would say I want carnival rides, like a ferris wheel or one of those spinning rides. I also hope there is going to be carnival food, like funnel cake and fried Oreos,” said Isabella Funiciello, freshman biology major.
“If NSU made the carnival of my dreams, they would have pre-prepared tacos on a table. People could just come and go with steak tacos with cilantro on them. They would have a little bit of onion and a little bit of lime and that would be my ultimate Shark festival,” said Paulina Riojas, junior marketing major.
