Hundreds of students participated in the annual Fun Day event Feb. 11 and the “Dolphin Fry on the Green” Feb. 12. Students were able to box one another with over-sized foam gloves, challenge each other in an inflatable obstacle course race, record a demo in a sound booth and bash a junk car to their hearts’ delight. “The annual Fun Day is definitely my favorite part of the Home- coming festivities, and this year was no different,” Student Body President John Barnes said. Unlike past Homecomings, there was no left over schwag; all stu- dents took advantage of the UNF gear that was available, Barnes said.
