Tired of weekend after weekend spent on campus? Check out some of the organized events going on in town. A few examples of recent plays put on by the Waterville Opera House are The Full Monty and Beauty and the Beast, as well as musical guests like Enter the Haggis, a Celtic rock band performing the weekend of Saint Patrick's Day, and an annual Guitarfest and Karaoke Contest.
Other events downtown include: Harvest Fest, a weekly farmer's market, trivia nights at local pubs, REM Center dance and cooking classes, salsa nights at Cancun, Waterville Arts Council events and exhibitions at the Blue Moon Art Gallery.
Many of us are only here for four years (less if you go abroad), so take advantage of the time you have in this unique city-the city that is your current home! College is more than four years of academic demands, dorm life and involvement in clubs on campus - it is an opportunity to learn about a new place, to grow roots, make connections and take the time to grow as a community member, both "on the Hill and in the Ville." Colby pride should not only encompass the events and people on Mayflower Hill, but the history, community and opportunities in the greater Waterville area. Scan the Morning Sentinel for current events, get to know your Waterville neighbors, and support the local economy in the process.
Go out and Burst the Bubble!
