A Beautiful Day to Enjoy CFA’s Fresh Air Fair

A stress reliever filled with outdoor fun: CFA’s Fresh Air Fair, held at Amory Park October 2, fulfilled its purpose. There were lawn games, like Cornhole, Ladder Toss, and Giant Jenga, refreshments, and even CFA frisbees. Alex Segreti (CFA’29) (left) visited one of the fair’s pop-up tables, where Rachel Zheng (Questrom’27) was selling her handmade pipe cleaner creations through BU’s branch of the national organization Student-Made, which allows student creators to sell their products.
