Family Day
Story and photos by Monty Siekerman
Ohio Northern’s Family Day drew several hundred parents and siblings to campus on Saturday.
One of the events was Bright Pink 5K Race for the Cure. Sixty-five runners participated. Their goal: raise $750 for the prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer. Kappa Epsilon, the student society of health-system pharmacists, and Zeta Tau Alpha, a social sorority, sponsored the race.
Other ONU Family Day activities included a fine arts exhibit, inflatables on the Tundra, and a tailgate.
There were several home sports contests. The football team beat Wilmington to remain undefeated this year. A comedian performed in the evening in McIntosh Center.
And, Saturday was a beautiful day for students to take their parents downtown for Harvest and Herb Fest.
