Lafayette Day in the Square features music, games, and food

Students, faculty, and staff are invited to explore downtown Easton Saturday, Sept. 12 for Lafayette Day in the Square.

Running from 11 a.m.-4 p.m., the day will feature free food, music, and a host of promotions to welcome students to the area. There will be an inflatable obstacle course, a money-machine cash cube, a live reggae band, a salsa dancing lesson, an Easton Idol Contest, and Lafayette specials at shops, galleries, and restaurants throughout town. All events are presented by the Easton Main Street Initiative.

Students can also “Walk to Town with the President.” President Daniel Weiss will be leaving for downtown from Farinon College Center at noon. Easton Mayor Sal Panto also will be on hand to greet members of the College community.

Students and staff should show their Lafayette ID at the registration tent by Dunkin’ Donuts to receive a Lafayette Day bracelet, map, and booklet of specials.
