Cotton candy, fair games and funnel cakes will occupy Commuter Lot 1 Friday night as Ball State University and the University Program Board sponsor the fourth annual Late Nite Carnival. The carnival will be similar to previous ones but will offer new entertainment such as student performers.
Upperclassmen who attended the carnival in the past said they are looking forward to Friday's event.
"Carnival reminds me of the scene from "Grease" where it is the last day of school," sophomore Stefanie Hancock said. "Any carnival where you can win fuzzy dice is pretty awesome."
Besides the usual games and rides at the carnival, new attractions will be offered. New to the carnival will be a fireworks show, which will feature the same company that put the fireworks show together during Homecoming.
"We are excited," Jessica Inman, student director of Late Nite, said. "They have designed a light-up Late Nite logo as well as many yellow and blue fireworks. We are very excited to see them go off."
To create anticipation within the audience, teaser fireworks will be set off every half hour with the final 15-minute show starting at midnight. The fireworks will be set off from the North end of LaFollette Field near the shuttle turn-around.
"I am really excited to see the fireworks show," freshman Megan Horvath said. "I have never been to Carnival before, and it looks like the weather will be perfect for it."
