YUSEONG JEON Staff Writer The Student Events Team, a student-led organization at Minnesota State University, Mankato, will host ‘MAVFEST – Black Light Paint Party’ from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 24, at the Library Lawn on campus. Participants of the event are suggested to wear white shirts because they will be sprayed with over 200 gallons of washable UV neon paint with four different colors orange, green, blue, and pink, all of which is environmentally friendly. The paint will wash out of hair and skin, although it can stain white shirts or any other light colored clothing. Paint will be being sprayed from above the dance floor by Student Events Team board members. Students will dance and party in paint under black lights that will make the paint glow and florescent, along with music performances. MAVFEST is a collaboration of different major pro-

grams. The Student Events Team combined Recognized Student Organization (RSO) Fair and the Outdoor Fall Concert to benefit both and boost the attendance for all the events that will happen on the same day. The RSO Fair will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m on Thursday, Sept. 24. Anywhere from 50 to 60 RSOs will promote their organizations at the fair. Moreover, there will be student performers so that students can get involved in RSOs and entertainment. “It is really designed to maximize student involvement here on campus,” said

Bill Tourville, assistant director of Campus Programs at MSU. “It’s an opportunity for students to get involved outside of the classroom. We present all of those options on one day. It’s going to be amazing.” In the evening, there will be the paint party as well as performances of Party After Paradise and Scratch and Bang. Party After Paradise is a Mankato-based new local band and they go to Bethany Lutheran College. They will play pop and rock type of genre at the event. Scratch and Bang, collaborated of DJ Vito Corleone and

drummer Mike Bowers, will create an exhilarating and entertaining atmosphere on the stage by grabbing the audience’s attentions. According to the Student Events Team, they performed at MSU last year during the Welcoming Week. The performances at the MAVFEST will start by the Party After Paradise at 7 p.m. Scratch and Bang will perform at 8:30 p.m. and finish it off at 10 a.m. “I went through a lot of different artists locally and nationally, and I thought it would make more sense to invite local artists because a lot more people here know them than like a small town national artist,” said Rachael Winch, the chairman of the Concert Company Committee in Student Events Team. The admission for the event is free for students with Mavcard. For the event, shoes are required but food, drink or backpacks are not allowed. The Student Events Team is a student-led organization that produces fun, interactive, educational events for MSU students and celebrates Maverick pride with them.
