Bison Square Fair brings campus together for annual Lipscomb event

Students, parents and alumni gathered in the square Saturday afternoon for food, activities and entertainment as part of Lipscomb’s annual Bison Week festivities.

Bison Square Fair is a carnival-inspired event featuring inflatables, a petting zoo and food. The event takes place during Bisons Week and serves as a conclusion to Lipscomb’s homecoming week. Student organizations, social clubs and departments participate by setting up booths with activities and games. Lipscomb dining provides a meal that families and students can purchase to eat while walking through the square.

“As an alumni, it’s great getting to see old friends come back, my friends whose kids are now students here coming together to see everything that Lipscomb has to offer and how much our community has grown in the past few years,” said Stacy Blackston, Director of Parent Engagement.

For event entertainment, music students were given the opportunity to pick songs and perform on the stairs of Collins Auditorium. “It’s really special getting to see all the music students collaborating to share this wonderful event with alumni and students,” said singer songwriter Rachel Simpson. Rachel was the first performer of the day, followed by other music students.

Bison Square Fair concluded with a Lipscomb men’s basketball game with students, parents and alumni in attendance.
