Del Mar’s Student Leadership and Campus Life held the annual fall carnival Oct. 30 in Heritage Campus’s Harvin Center despite it usually being held at Windward Campus.
The Fall Carnival was brought to life due to the work of all the clubs at Del Mar, including Cosmetology, Math, Respiratory, Science, Press Club, and Aviation Maintenance clubs.
The event helps campus clubs raise money, with tickets for food and games priced at $1 each.
“This is my first time coming to this event, but it’s a lot more lively than I expected,” Del Mar student Madison Fuentes said. “I’m having a lot of fun, there are a lot of people dressed up.”
Featured activities included face paint and hair glitter, a cake walk, ring tosses, pumpkin painting, corn toss, a photo booth, and food vendors like sausage wraps, corn cups, popcorn, soft drinks, and raffles.
“For me personally, it was for my students to get experience at the fall carnival, lots of new students who have never seen it in action or as a club, so I wanted them to get the full experience of what it’s like,” said Cosmetology Instructor Danielle Garza.
Many costumes hit the floor, from inflatable dinosaurs to Power Rangers, and all the way to werewolves and anime characters like Luffy from One Piece and Tanjiro from Demon Slayer. The SLCL department hosted a costume contest for ages 0-9 years old, 10-17 years old and 18 and older, with winners decided by round of applause and awarded a $50 Visa gift card.
