Tufts Off-Hill Council, which is headquartered at Hillside House (Commuter House), hosted its first-ever Fall Fest on Saturday afternoon, with activities and food for Tufts community members.
The event featured activities including horse-drawn hayrides, cornhole, an ugly sweater contest and a potato-sack race, according to Chiamaka Chima, a first-year graduate student and a house manager of the Commuter House. Other culture houses at Tufts, including the Russian Culture House, the German Language House, the French Language House and the Japanese Language House, brought their own foods, and event coordinators gave out $25 to $50 gift cards from their local sponsors, including Boston Burger Company, Sound Bites, Whole Foods and Stop and Shop, she said.
Chima added that the event was intended for unity, fun and philanthropy, as it also donated food to local food pantries. She said that she considered it to be a success and hopes to make it a tradition.
