Newman Hall, alongside its chapel, celebrated its five-year anniversary being open and a part of Texas A&M University – Kingsville on April 8, by holding a Spring Carnival in the field outside of the establishment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Newman prides itself on camaraderie during the Spring Carnival and created an inviting and friendly environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all about family, it\u2019s all about a home-away-from home, being somewhere safe where you can practice your faith, get your homework done, and just enjoy yourself amongst your peers,\u201d said General Manager of Newman Hall Alexandria Brooks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wanting to honor half a decade of family, the Spring Carnival had many booths and activities scattered around the grass area for the community to enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe just want to make our presence and let people know that we have events like this,\u201d said Assistant General Manager of Newman Hall Vanessa Valdez. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The area was riddled with free goodies such as nachos or snow-cones, as well as activities such as free face painting and a photo booth. Animals were present as well with a dog kissing booth, horseback riding and a goat petting zoo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI like the food, I love the animals, and the people working here are so nice,\u201d said resident of Newman and architecture major Daniel Martin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event went into the night with s\u2019mores being cooked over fires as the Spring Carnival came to a close for the night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe love everyone, we embrace everyone, and at the end of the day, everyone can put a smile on another person\u2019s face,\u201d Brooks said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smiles were seen, faces were painted, people were fed, and so ended the five-year anniversary that caps off the many more anniversaries to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
