Dining hosts picnic party in C-Lot

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.”

Can't we get this advertising crap off campus?

We got very little warning about the dining halls closing though. This is one reason why I'm thankful of being a commuter student. I don't have to worry about where will I get my meal (without having to wait in very long lines) when the dining halls close for events like these. I think a little of warning (say a week ahead) would have been nice for everybody.

Though, I will say it was interesting to see BMX riders go up into the air as I walked by the MUB.
