“Frozen Fun” is the theme of Winter Weekend at Rider University, Friday through Sunday, January 26-28.

To kick off activities, the movie “The Prestige” will be shown Friday in the Bart Luedeke Center (BLC) Theater at 7:30 p.m. That evening, an ice hockey game (Rider vs. The College of New Jersey) will take place at 9:45 p.m. at Lawrenceville Prep in Loucks Ice Center. Starting at 10 p.m., Rider students are invited to a Bronc Buffet at Daly’s. Free T-shirts will be given throughout the weekend to early attendees at various events.

Winter fever sets in early Saturday with a ski trip to Mountain Creek. Buses depart at 6:30 a.m. in front of the Student Recreation Center (SRC). Due to limited seating, students must sign up in advance at the ticket booth on a first-come, first-serve basis. For those who want a warmer climate, the Sovereign Bank Arena will feature an afternoon of riveting basketball: Rider women vs. Saint Peter’s at 1 p.m. and Rider men vs. Siena at 3 p.m.

During the evening, the excitement will build as hypnotist Steve Atwood entertains one and all at 8 p.m. in the BLC Theater. A Club Cabin Fever – All Ages Dance Party with a disc jockey will follow from 10 p.m. to midnight in the Pub.

Winter Weekend concludes Sunday with a Winter Brunch, featuring everyone’s favorite comfort foods, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Daly’s, a Madden 2007 Football Video Game Tournament, featuring great prizes, at 1 p.m. in the SRC, and the repeat showing of “The Prestige” at 7:30 p.m. in the BLC Theater.

The Student Life Involvement Committee (S.L.I.C.E) sponsors Winter Weekend. For more information, contact the Office of Campus Life at 609-896-5327. All activities are covered by the Student Activity Fee.
