(LEBANON, Ill., April 14, 2015) - Live music featuring local and regional bands, inflatable
set-ups and more will be part of the fun at McKendree University’s Spring Fling on
Saturday, April 25 from noon to 5 p.m.
The annual end-of-school-year event is open to the community. A variety of activities
will be set up on the campus quad, west of Alton Street in Lebanon.
Local and regional bands will perform, including the all-male a cappella group KaZual
at 2:30 p.m. and Dirty Muggs at 3:30 p.m.
“We’re really looking forward to this musical line-up,” said Shyla Bougor-Miner, traditions
programming coordinator for the Campus Activities Board. “There’s a little bit of
something for everyone – cover tunes and some original music that spans a variety
of genres.”
Inflatables, obstacle courses, bounce houses, jousting arenas and water slides will
be set up on the quad, as well as concession stands by several local eateries. Other
activities will include airbrush tattoos, caricatures, a psychic, a balloon artist
and much more!
Many games and inflatable activities are free of charge. Several student organizations
will be on hand hosting fundraisers to assist their groups. Concessions will be available
for purchase. Lawn chairs are encouraged but coolers and alcohol are prohibited. Due
to construction on Alton Street, alternate routes on Stanton Street and Monroe Street
must be taken.
Spring Fling is sponsored by the McKendree University Campus Activities Board. For
