On a chilly October 14, Le Moyne Dolphins packed the quad for the annual fall hit Phintoberfest.

This year’s event featured new games and activities, including Stuff-A-Buddy plush animals, a spatter room with a photo station, and a mechanical shark. Carnival games were also included alongside pumpkin painting, courtesy of Le Moyne’s Gardening Club. Jeffry Mateo, Campus Life’s own DJ, provided the tunes for the day.

A fan favorite of the fall event, free special addition crewnecks were also given to students who lined up early to get their hands on the pumpkin-stitched apparel, and many could be seen donning the new addition to their wardrobe throughout the day.

Maria LaFleur, a senior at Le Moyne, attended the festivities with her friends, sharing that her “favorite parts were the free crewnecks, the shark ride, and the [splatter paint].”

To sustain the hungry Dolphins who ventured out for the event, Cam’s Pizza offered fresh-out-of-the oven slices, and Ma and Pa’s Kettle Corn returned for another year of students clamoring to get their hands on lemonade, fried Oreos, and popcorn.

Phintoberfest continues to kick off the chilly season in Syracuse with fun and friends and is sure to deliver again next autumn.
