On Thursday on South Quad, Welsh Family Hall hosted its annual Hoedown Throwdown, a country-themed dance party. “We do it every year, our Hoedown Throwdown and all of our donations go to Unity Gardens, which is our community partner. [Hoedown Throwdown] has been passed on from year to year and it’s our only signature event,” sophomore Kara Gallagher, Welsh Family Hall president, said. Marie Stier Paige Binns, a resident of Welsh Family Hall, rides the mechanical bull at Hoedown Throwdown. Last year, the Hoedown Throwdown mechanical bull-riding record was 59 seconds, a record that held strong this year.
