Freshman Follies returned to campus again in Boone Family Theatre for Family Weekend, with shows on Friday and Saturday. Participants got to bond with other students in their halls, having to create, plan, and rehearse their acts for weeks at a time. The Men of Mabee and Bullock won first place for their Halloween-themed act and the Women of Bullock 1st and 3rd Floor won for their Grannies act.
