While some students may have gone to the movies or out on the town Friday night, others attended the BCM’s square dance and cochon de lait (pig roast).

The event was a mission fundraiser. Attendees enjoyed a rustic meal while interacting with fellow students.

The “pig roast” is a yearly event. There were some apprehensions about the words “pig roast,” but there was a medley of different foods. The meal included pulled pork, baked beans, dirty rice, salad and a roll. Hats off to the chefs because the meal was well prepared.

“Tonight’s about kicking back, eating some hog, cutting a rug and having a good time,” said Beau McFerren, a junior construction management major.

Students learned how to get down folk dance style with the help of a professional square dance caller, teaching the moves step-by-step until everyone had the moves down.

Once the music picked up and the dancing started, it was a “hoe-down.” Students danced the do-si-do, the promenade and the left allemande.

“It gives the students an opportunity to blow off steam from a week full of tests,” says Angie Shepherd, Associate director of the BCM.
