SMYRNA, Tenn. – Motlow’s Fall Festival was held at the
Smyrna campus last Tuesday, giving students a chance to relax, and clubs a
chance to show off.
Over half a dozen clubs set up tables to show off their
Halloween spirit. The Physics Department had a magic show, demonstrating the
magical wonders of natural sciences. The magic show also had students
preforming sleight-of-hand card tricks.
The costume contest had 27 contestants with the ultimate winner
being Marina in her banana costume.

The Criminal Justice Club had a “what am I touching” booth
where participants would stick their hand into box and try to guess what was
inside by touch alone.
Jabberwocky Mad-Libs was the Writing Center's main
attraction, having collected some of their favorites to display inside the
Writing Center.
The Art Club and Sociology Club both had pumpkin decorations
to display.

The History Department had no small part in this year’s Fall
Fest, with both fragrant and frightful displays.
History Club’s booth was dedicated to the smells and flavors
of fall, showing off the history of various fall flavored spices from around
the world.

Professor Heather Koller’s Honors History students had set up
a haunted house in the faculty office area. The impressive attraction featured
jump scares and freaky monsters to cause panic to anyone inside. What was more
impressive was the effort that the students put into the haunted house.
“I’ve been here since 6 a.m. to put the haunted house
together,” History student Hunter Mosely explained.
The Fall Festival provided an opportunity for the newly
formed Smyrna Arts Entertainment and Media (SEAM) Club to introduce themselves
to the student population. SEAM is a club that allows students to explore
topics and events related to all forms of media and arts. Club President Joshua
Brashar was excited to have the opportunity to introduce the club to the fellow
students.

Brashar excitedly said, “We had plenty of enthusiasm for the
club and had quite a few people sign up.”
Brashar was quick to praise his fellow club members. “Everyone
was able to pitch in and help to make today a success for us.”
Faculty members and Fall Festival committee members Regina
Norwood and Candice Grissom both said that this year's Fall Festival was a
success.
Norwood commended the student volunteers. “There have been a
huge number of students volunteering to help with the set-up and clean-up for
this year.”
Grissom added, “This year was over 50 percent bigger than
last year’s Fall Festival.”
