Thunder 91, Southern Utah University’s radio station, will host Sips n’ Spins on Tuesday, Nov. 17, at 6 p.m. in the Sharwan Smith Student Center Living Room. The event invites SUU students to enjoy an evening of music, art and free snacks.
Students can paint their own vinyl records or CDs while listening to music. The event will also offer free popcorn, cookies, hot chocolate and apple cider. Music videos will play on a large screen throughout the event.
According to Brynn Smith, Thunder 91’s promotions director, the event is designed to give students an opportunity to relax and meet others.
“Our goal is to provide people with a fun activity they can come to have some free treats at, be creative, and connect with others,” Smith said.
Sips n’ Spins originally started as a fundraiser organized by Thunder 91 student employees. After the first event attracted more students than expected, the station decided to make it a regular student activity instead.
The event also gives Thunder 91 student employees experience in planning, promoting and organizing campus activities.
“At Thunder 91 everything we do is to give opportunities to the students in the class and the student employees,” Smith said. “To gain experience from all angles, from promotional work to planning a radio show to showing up when you’re being depended on.”
Admission is free, and everyone is welcome to attend. For more information about Thunder 91 and to keep up with future events, visit its Instagram.
