SUNY Plattsburgh looks the make the spring time entertaining and fun for students. Every spring there is a Spring Carnival that features delicious food, dessert, and free novelties. This year, the carnival was luau themed, and there were air brush hats, tie dye shirts, as well as hula dancing and blow up bouncy houses!

Hosted by the Student Association’s Activities Coordination Board’s Special Events Committee and our dining services, Spring Carnival brings students together for a sunny, fun and music-filled afternoon. Students stay at the carnival for hours playing the games, soaking up the sun and enjoying the entertainment.

            Platty Slack, one of the newest clubs here at SUNY Plattsburgh, hosted first campus event last week. The club is a place for slackliners around campus and the community to share their love for the activity. The Slackfest event allowed anyone to learn how to slackline and had different levels of intensity around the Hawkins Pond area. They also had areas for tie-dying t-shirts, a free barbeque, and workshops led by professional slackliners who attended the event. It was a great way to relax and enjoy the wonderful weather, especially with the end of the semester right around the corner.

Plattsburgh’s Got Talent is SUNY Plattsburgh’s annual talent show for which any student can audtion. Organized by the Activities Coordination Board’s entertainment committee, this is a fun, free event with a grand prize, entertainment and an all around good time with your friends. The emcee of this year’s PGT was America’s Got Talent semi-finalist Eric Dittelman, a mind reader who has been featured on the Ellen Show. Seven amazing acts made this year’s PGT a blast.

Performances included African song and dances, an Eminem/Britney Spears mash-up, original songs by two duos, an Ed Sheeran cover and a Ryan Leslie cover. 

During intermission, students voted for their favorite act while Dittelman performed acts from his show. Students were stunned by Dittelman’s mind reading, which included figuring out what students drew on paper while he was blindfolded and already knowing what colors a random student colored onto a coloring page. After intermission, the winner of PGT was determined to be Becca and the Shannons, who performed the Eminen/Britney Spears mash-up. Each member received bragging rights and $100 each!
