Winter Carnival continued this week with events on campus throughout the week and activities at Keystone Mountain this weekend.
On Tuesday evening between 7 and 9:30 a.m., students went to Magness Arena to ice skate alongside the DU hockey team. There were about 100 people in attendance over the course of the evening. DUPB provided free ice skate rentals, hot chocolate and apple cider to participants. There was also a DJ playing music in the arena. Members from a local peewee hockey team also joined in the festivities after they finished practice in neighboring Joy Burns arena.
The chili cook-off was held on Wednesday afternoon on the Driscoll Bridge. The event began at 11:30 a.m., and although it was scheduled to last until 1:30 p.m., all of the chili was gone by 1:15 p.m. Amanda Carlton, graduate assistant in the office of Campus Activities and DUPB advisor, said that she was pleased with how many people came by to taste the chili.
Nine people entered the cook-off, including students and faculty members. First place went to Amanda Carlton, who used a family recipe. Aaron Schwarzberg and Amy Dible, assistant director of Student Programs and Greek Life, tied for second place, and third place went to Megan Pendley, assistant director of Student Programs and Greek Life.
Carlton said there were a variety of different chilies, including one recipe that came from Chef Rachel Rae's 30-minute meal cookbook that was very unique.
The five judge panel who voted on the winners consisted of Carl Johnson, director of Campus Activities; Patti Helton, associate provost; Deb Tyson, director of Housing and Residential Education, and Joey Ham, a student and the vice president of Public Relations for DUPB.
On Thursday night, DUPB showed Warren Miller's independent extreme skiing and snowboarding film, "Higher Ground" in Davis Auditorium. Christy Sports in Cherry Creek co-sponsored the film, and donated a pair of goggles and four wax and tune gift certificates to be raffled off to students in the audience before the movie began. There were approximately 75 students who attended this event.
