September 17, 2022- Richland Community College celebrated the start of the fall semester with a picnic to welcome back students.
Community members, students, faculty, and their families were in attendance at the event that was held outside of Bistro Five Thirty Seven restaurant. Attendees wore blue 50th anniversary t-shirts, and shirts were available at the picnic.
The event had several activities for the children, including balloon animals, a tattoo station, a bounce house, and an obstacle course. Faculty members even took part in the fun, as Dr. Cristobal Valdez, RCC President & Reverend Courtney Carson, Assistant Vice President of External Affairs, raced each other in the obstacle course.
Several local food trucks were present at the event, and all the food was free to attendees. Food trucks included Smack’n Tacos, Mister Softee, Allen’s GrubTruck, and Big Jake’s BBQ.
