Media Advisory/Photo Opportunity: CSU Community Open House and Ice Cream Social Aug. 10

The CSU Community Open House and Ice Cream Social will be held Wednesday, Aug. 10. All community members are invited to attend the extravaganza of the summer.

WHERE/WHEN:
The Community Open House and Ice Cream Social will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on the east lawn of the Student Recreation Center, located on the corner of Meridian and Plum streets.

DETAILS:
The event will feature a plethora of activities, kids’ play areas with inflatables and balloon artists, interactive booths from various campus divisions and colleges, giveaways, food trucks and, of course, free ice cream and beverages for all. In true Fort Collins fashion, there will also be live music during the event.

Liz Barnez will play at the event. She started her musical career in the clubs on Bourbon Street in her hometown of New Orleans, and her acoustic swamp groove is apparent in her guitar playing, songwriting and soulful inspired singing.

The Community Open House and Ice Cream Social is sponsored by the Office of the President.

The event supports the university’s promise of service and engagement to the community. Outreach is among the pillars upon which CSU was founded and is an effort that continues today through interaction with Colorado communities and around the globe. This Commitment to Community is a reflection of the University’s promise of service and engagement to Colorado citizens, executed by providing resources, participating in events, and building community partnerships.
