There are so many things to do at Skidmore. There were at least four events I wanted to attend on Thursday alone and it was impossible to attend them all. The Honors Forum has a series of panel discussions called "Shades of Grey"(recently changed to "Degrees of Grey") and Thursday nights' specific topic was about Global Warming.
There was a movie sponsored by the Black Faculty and Staff Group on campus immediately following the "Degrees of Grey" discussion.
The "tree lighting" ceremony is one of my favorite traditions on campus and was going on Thursday night as well.
Rithmos is one of the many talented dance groups on campus and they were performing on Thursday night too!
The Victorian Street Walk was also going on and this was what we ended doing. It was very hard to find parking (we drove from home) but once we did we strolled into town to see a huge crowd (over 21,000 people attended last year) scattered across Broadway. I was only able to snap 3 photos before my camera battery ran out.
Inside the first store we stopped into. We enjoyed the free Masala Chai tea here.
One of Skidmore's own a cappella groups!We enjoyed free warm cider and cookies all around town. We wanted to get some kettle corn, but the line was too long and we had to rush back to campus to catch our next event, The Cherry Orchard.
Anton Chekhov's play written in the early 1900's was one of the many productions the theatre department puts on per semester. It was featured in our Theatre Open House a weak earlier and had rave reviews from the audience. Kudos to the entire cast and staff of the production. You guys are incredibly talented and hard-working!
