By Emilie Hackett, Special to the Record Face-painting, bowling, limbo, musical chairs, and many more carnival games were set up in the Bishop’s University Student Union Building (SUB) on Saturday, Nov. 24. The annual holiday Carnival is a tradition within the university’s Bug Buddies club, where over 50 Bishop’s students are paired with Lennoxville Elementary School (LES) students for an afternoon of fun activities. The Bishop’s SUB was packed Saturday afternoon as 114 Big and Little Buddies and a dozen volunteers gathered from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. for the Carnival festivities. With a multitude of carnival games, popcorn cups, juice boxes, and Christmas music, the 57 Buddies pairs were in for a treat. See full story in the Monday, Nov. 26 edition of The Record.
