Waco brought out the warmest day of the year thus far to give us a perfectly bright and sunny Diadeloso<\/a>!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The day kicked off with the annual Fun Run<\/a> from McLane Stadium to Fountain Mall, complete with colored paint and foam. Then, a change — instead of goats, this year’s Dia gave students the opportunity to get nice and cozy with some adorable otters<\/a>!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

[<\/strong>See <\/strong>photos<\/strong><\/a> from the entire day.] <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Otters weren\u2019t the only new and exciting attraction at this year\u2019s Dia, though \u2013 the Glow Lounge<\/a> set up on Fountain Mall was another fun addition, complete with A\/C, free trinkets, cotton candy, Jenga, a DJ, and a neon photo op!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Of course, students, faculty and families alike lined up for free lunch<\/a> and cookies with Miss Mei<\/a>, followed by more activities on Fountain Mall — including a ninja warrior course<\/a>, bubble soccer<\/a>, jousting<\/a>, and of course, tug of war<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Inside Moody Library, an arcade<\/a> offered students the chance to play such classic games as Frogger, Donkey Kong and Dance Dance Revolution, and just outside Moody, a Ferris wheel<\/a> offered those who rode it a perfect view of Fountain Mall<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The day ended with a concert by Calpurnia<\/a>, a band front-manned by Stranger Things<\/em> actor Finn Wolfhard, who sported a Baylor slime cap on stage<\/a>!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A huge thanks to Baylor Chamber<\/a> for the months of hard work and planning put into this event!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
