The Council of Postsecondary Student Affairs (COPSA) was in charge of hosting this event. They organized booths for student organizations and a talent show on the main stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Vice president of COPSA Rodeson Basto explained that they host the festival primarily for the students of GCC. He said various GCC clubs and groups participated in this annual event.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Basto, the Fall Festival was postponed due to weather condition. The intended date for the event was scheduled for Sep. 22 but it was moved to Oct. 27.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the theme of the festival suggests, several student organizations and groups had booths to showcase the culture of their club. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Japan Club and Yap Club promoted their culture by wearing traditional clothing and showcasing items from their cultures. <\/span><\/p>\n

Student organizations such as the Practical Nursing Student Association and Digital Arts Society had booths to showcase their student organization and sell various items. <\/span><\/p>\n

The PNSA promoted their club and sold snacks and drinks as a fundraiser.. <\/span><\/p>\n

DAS made buttons with pre-made or suggested design ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Basto, the talent show was planned and organized by the Talent Club of GCC. The Talent Club looked for performers and scheduled the entertainment weeks prior to the festival. Several bands, singers and dancers took center stage to perform.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the festival featured photo booth and food vendors. The photo booth had numerous props and a line of students wanting to take pictures with friends and family. The several food vendors sold various snacks such as cupcakes, karage chicken, ice cream and iced drinks. <\/span><\/p>\n

The festival took place days before Halloween. GCC students could be seen wearing their costumes. Basto added to the fun by dressing up as a giraffe. He could not be missed as his costume stood over 7-feet tall.<\/span><\/p>\n

The annual festival is an event Basto helped organized. Basto said \u201cOf course the people, crowds and students that participate, join and have as much fun as they can. Without them, it would just be a boring and dull festival.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Basto felt that the festival was a success even though it was postponed. The turnout from the students were a lot and he hopes that the next festival he plans with COPSA would be as successful as this.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
