It’s family fun time at BGSU this weekend.
From free movies to a family brunch, over ten organizations across campus will be providing entertainment for students and their family members to participate in.
The events start today with seven different activities for students and families to choose from.
Two free movies will be showing at the Union tonight. “Wall-E” will be showing at 6:30 p.m. and “Get Smart” begins at 9:30 p.m.
Freshman Eric Zirger has his mom, dad, and younger brother and sister coming to visit for the weekend. He said he plans on bringing his siblings to “Wall-E” since it is a family Disney movie.
Lisa Breidenbach, junior, said she was also going to bring her parents and younger brother to “Wall-E.”
The Second City Touring Company, from Chicago, will also be putting on a show, “The Best of Second City,” tonight in Anderson Arena at 8.
“It’s supposed to have a collage of performances with a dinner theater feel to it,” said the Office of Campus Involvement Program Coordinator Paul Valdez.
Tickets start at $13 and are expected to sell out before the event, Valdez said.
Other events today include the Falcon Parents Advisory Board fall meeting, Karaoke Plus in the Falcon’s Nest, the musical performance New Voices ’08 and the Visual Communication Technology Organization Family Game Night.
“I’m definitely bringing my family to the VCTO game night,” Breidenbach said.
Activities will take place on Saturday from 8:30 a.m. until the 9:30 p.m. showing of “Get Smart” lets out.
Throughout the day, the Office of Residence Life is sponsoring Residence Hall Round-Up, where students and family members can participate in a variety of activities.
Valdez said it is a good way to connect families with the students and their living environments.
The BGSU vs. Miami University game kicks off Saturday at noon as well.
Zirger said he and his family plan on attending the game.
Downtown Bowling Green will be hosting Fun-on-Main. Downtown will be filled with special deals, activities and entertainment from 4 to 7 p.m.
“It’s a good way for the Bowling Green community to connect with parents and families over the weekend,” Valdez said.
Saturday is also Preview Day at the University, which will bring in even more families for the weekend he said.
The family filled weekend will end on Sunday with the Family Weekend Farewell Brunch from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Lenhart Grand Ballroom at the Union.
