UNH Dining’s most recent event on Tuesday afternoon had dining services teaming up with Red Bull for the Party in the Park in C-Lot from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. and featured barbeque style cooking along with two shows from Red Bull’s TNT BMX Riders.
According to Jon Plodzik, director of dining, Party in the Park was probably the most work to put together because of having to deal with parking, facilities, and making sure the Red Bull riders had enough room to perform.
“The event was very different and we’ve never done one like it at this time of year,” said Plodzik. “There was a lot of planning and behind the scenes work that had to be done.”
Stillings area manager Andrew Porter also said that Party in the Park involved a great deal of preparation.
“It’s a lot of work,” said Porter. “But it makes it easier if the students appreciate it because we try to raise the bar.”
The menu for the party included barbeque chicken sandwiches, sausages, vegan wraps, whoopie pies, fried dough, and more. Porter said that was one of the challenges, as well.
“There’s a lot of pre-planning for an event like this when it comes to the menu,” said Porter. “We prepared a lot of the menu in advance.”
