Their agenda had nothing to do with Spring Fair.

We had a few hitches Friday morning that were out of our control, but despite that, everything ran very smoothly and it's been a large success. Vendor response and general productivity was up in spite of the inclement weather.

I can't imagine it wouldn't be more successful than last year. And with the Fair being centered around the Beach, it's possible for almost everyone to get involved. In order to get anywhere on campus you'll have to cross through the Fair. Additionally, it ties the entire area together, even places Mt. Vernon.
