PICNIC DAY: TIE-DYE



Where can you milk a cow, go through a lazar maze, listen to a battle of marching bands, enter your dog in a doxie derby race, watch a bike parade, fashion show and chemistry magic show all in one day? At the infamous UC Davis Picnic Day! This is the largest student run event in the nation and has been celebrated on campus for over 100 years.

With a fantastic team of student planners, volunteers and faculty, the Division of Textiles and Clothing participated in Picnic Day by successfully running tie-dye tables and selling over 670 t-shirts!

Preparation Day- Students painted posters and prepared the dyes.



Day of the Event- Enthusiastic volunteers advertised the event to people walking along the campus street, helped at the t-shirt stop, assisted customers with rubber-banding and dyeing their shirts, and spent time cleaning up after the event


 

Special thanks to Samantha Weinmen, Luis Legaspi, Van Nguyen, Joan Chandler, and Andrew Jackura who put extra efforts into making this event such a hit!
