LCU’s Big Blue “Elf-stravaganza”

Tonight was LCU’s third annual Big Blue “Elf-stravaganza” an evening crafts, photos, music, and the Lighting of the Chap.

The campus was decorated like the Christmas movie, Elf – including the Candy Cane Forest and Sea of Gumdrops and the World’s Greatest Cup of Coffee – as well as fire pits, hot beverages, and food options. Buddy the Elf himself, welcomed students into the Baker Conference Center, which was decked to look like Gimbel’s Department Store, complete with paper chains, paper s, ice sculptures, and a LEGO Empire State Building.

Caleb and other members of the student senate helped out with the Arendelle and Whoville locations. The Grinch came down from his mountain and posed for photo opportunities on one end of the SUB, and Whoville was filled with Seuss-style crafts for kids and their families. Arendelle had games of its own from building marshmallow snowmen to a snowball toss, while the snow sisters, Queen Elsa and Princess Anna, accompanied by Kristoff and Olaf, joined the festivities for pictures and lots of warm hugs.

LCU’s music groups performed songs of the season on the steps of the McDonald Moody Auditorium. The evening culminated with a countdown to the Lighting of the Chap and Christmas tree outside the Moody auditorium. Afterwards, students watched “Elf” in the SUB.
