Connectapalooza!

Connectapalooza! was a night of music, celebration and connection during the October First Friday and Homecoming Weekend on Oct. 4 in the downtown Goshen Theater. The event included concerts by Goshen Collegeโ€™s own Lavender Jazz band, rising singer-songwriter Abbie Thomas and local Spanish rock band Lalo Cura. In addition to free Jojo’s Pretzels, Menno Tea and theater popcorn, aย cash bar featured Goshen Brewing Companyโ€™s first pints of Broken Shield Amber Lager, brewed in collaboration with the college especially for this yearโ€™s Homecoming celebration. Attendees of all ages enjoyed watching senior T Rodriguez juggle, taking photos with Dash and having a caricature drawn by alum Mark Daniels ’00.

During the evening, there was a very special announcement about the launch of the public phase of Connected Cause, a campaign for Goshen College with a goal of $68 million. Learn more about the campaign and the amazing progress so far here.ย
