MessFest

Wah-hoo! Get ready for an ooey, gooey mess! Be prepared to dive in and get dirty. Activities include water, foam, paint, bubbles, mud, and more. Wear old clothes and crocks or sandals. Bring a towel and change of clothes.

Most of the activities will take place under canopies, but you may want to bring sunscreen. This event takes place in HCM’s parking lot. In the event of inclement weather, activities will be limited and may or may not take place indoors.
