Friday, the first day of the homecoming weekend, there was a wine tasting in the mansion. This day also hosted a comedy show and it ended with the homecoming dance.

Saturday was the most eventful day of homecoming weekend.

The parade throughout campus was a great way to show off Cabrini pride. All the sports teams and organizations on campus dressed up in their blue and white so they could transform the campus into a school pride parade.

After the Cabrini pride parade was over there was an interactive fair on the commons. The campus was flooded with students and families enjoying all the different activities.

Giana Ciccarone, daughter of an alumni graduate student, had a lot of fun playing mini golf.

She also made sure to get her face painted at the face painting station that was set up next to the big moon bounce.

The whole campus was filled with music from a live band that junior education major, Melissa King and her friends were enjoying while at the fair. King went to the fair after attending the girls’ volleyball game, which resulted in a 3-0 win.

“The girls played great; they really kicked butt,” King said.

This day also had a beer garden for the alums, trolley rides into Wayne and many other actives.

The day rounded out with dinner and a show, then big prize bingo. Sunday, the last day of homecoming weekend had events for the community, the kite fair and a soccer clinic for kids.

Junior education major Katherine Spies thought that the whole weekend went really well. She especially likes how they changed the location of the fair from last year when it was near the practice field. Having the fair by the commons allowed everyone to see the campus. Spies also said she was surprised by how many people came to all the events of the weekend. “It’s really great to see everyone having a good time,” Spies said.
