Rider to Host Family Picnic, 'Movie Under the Stars'

invites its entire community – neighbors, alumni, family, friends, and especially children – to the Broncs’ Family Carnival of Fun on Friday, June 8, from 6 to 10 p.m. on Rider’s Lawrence Township campus at 2083 Lawrence Rd. (Route 206).

This family-friendly event, part of Rider’s Reunion Weekend 2012 activities, is open to all. 

Bring your blanket and come early for an all-you-can-eat “High $5” picnic on the Campus Green, where you can choose from cheese steaks to chicken fingers, funnel cakes and more!  

Be ready when the lights go on at the outdoor stage with an interactive juggling act before settling in for Rider’s Movie Under the Stars: the animated 2010 Dreamworks feature "How to Train Your Dragon" (rated PG). 

Other fun family attractions include a DJ, carnival games of chance, a giant moonbounce, balloon-twisters, face-painters, kids’ tattooing and our new Glow Station.

For more information, please contact Rider’s Office of Alumni Relations at (609) 896-5340.

Admission is free; “High $5” picnic is $5 per person, and other paid food vendors will also be on site.
