SPRINGFIELD — Volunteers and staff laid colorful cloths across long tables with blue skies above and a sidewalk filled with activity, vendors and entertainment.

It is an exciting event happeningat Lincoln Land Community College, said Michelle Burger, the student engagement coordinator for LLCC’s Student Life. It gives organizations the opportunity to showcase what services they have to offer, and students have some fun on their breaks between classes.

Some of the fun may have included a few games of chance in which students could win a prize. Plus, they could have listened to Patrick Lentz Band.

The band, which made its debut at Loggerpalooza, featured guitarist/singer Ryan Rancudo, came from Kansas City, Kan.

Despite some technical difficulties, the band performed “Waiting On The World To Change” by John Mayer and “Hold On We’re Going Home” by Rapper/singer Drake.

“(The performance was) stressful, but good,” said Rancudo.

In addition to the band, there were massages and numerous vendors and organizations.

Burger said Loggerpalooza has been very beneficial to get Lincoln Land students comfortable and interested with volunteering and looking for career in fields they might not have thought about before.

It is always good to see students having fun while learning about new and interesting organizations, she said.
