\"\"<\/a>University of Mississippi nutrition and hospitality management students ended the spring semester by gaining hands-on experience hosting the 2013 Double Decker Square Fair for the first time April 27.<\/p>\n

Students in adjunct instructor Jeremy Roberts\u2019 event-planning class spearheaded the space-themed children\u2019s fair, which included visitors from NASA\u2019s Stennis Space Center, the Oxford-Lafayette Humane Society\u2019s annual Best Dressed Pet Contest and activities such as games and face painting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did everything from picking out the food, working with the vendors and setting up the layout to designing the posters and marketing the event,\u201d said Roberts. \u201cIt provided students with one of three hands-on, real-world event-management experiences this semester.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hundreds of children and their parents came out to the Oxford Square to take part in games and activities ranging from fingernail painting by the Lafayette High School Varsity Cheerleaders to art projects with Oxford\u2019s Studio Whimzy.<\/p>\n

After breaking down this year\u2019s Square Fair, students held a debriefing session and began planning the 2014 event, which NHM students will also oversee.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a fun event,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cWe did it as a way to give back to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students in the NHM 312 course also hosted Miss-I-Sippin\u2019, a fundraiser benefiting the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council and the NHM department in April, and put on a reception for the Mississippi Dietetic Association\u2019s annual conference in Oxford.<\/p>\n
