The event featured a dunk tank, face paint, t-shirt giveaways, live music and a picnic.

Chris Davis ´08, master of ceremonies, revved up the crowd as he introduced the fall sports teams and delivered the play-by-play of a frozen T-shirt contest, during which athletes competed to see who could get a numbingly cold shirt on first.

"This was really an incredible event," said Davis, who also announces at the basketball and lacrosse games. "It was such a great turnout, and the crowd was definitely feeling the energy."

This year´s Fall Weekend included Harvestfest, athletic competitions, engaging speakers and discussions, a post-game party on the Green and mini courses given by Connecticut College faculty members.
