Pinata!

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009
Last Thursday, we revealed the weight of Anna Hepler’s installation, ARREST, ARRAY.

So how much did it weigh? According to our raffle, Victoria Traverse knew best. Her guess was 97lbs, its actual weight is 107lbs. We ventured to the Beverly Commons and Victoria was the first (and ultimately only) to take a swing at our Tiki Pinata.

Enraptured students and staff watched as Victoria proved to not only be good at guessing, but also to be incredible at swinging blind. She broke the pinata almost immediately, but swung so gracefully that the pinata remained almost entirely intact.
