For those of you that missed the 100 Day Celebration at Inman’s, you missed the party of the year! It had all the necessities for an all-out bash: pizza, wings, beer, door prizes, gift cards, bowling, bean bag games, and lots of beverage-induced revelry. Those people who were unable to drive home, for whatever reason, were of­fered taxi cab services at a discounted rate with the cabs right there waiting for patrons.

The moment you walked in you were greeted and given a raffle ticket for gift cards that were given away. Several draws were made throughout the night. Members of all classes came out in droves to celebrate the last 100 days of law school for the 3Ls. As the night progressed, people split up into teams for bowling. Even those who weren’t so great at bowling were having a good time, mingling with friends and playing other games.

The highest team score was 693, bowled by: Joel Funk, Jon Fay, Steve Olsen, Jon Morris, Steve Gage, and Josh Hood. The highest individual score was 199, bowled by Steve Olsen.

With everything going on before graduation this was a great way to re­lieve stress. If you missed all the fun, don’t fret because there are many more events to come before graduation.
