On Thursday, September 7th, 2017, I attended the latinx Family Feud event in the Multipurpose room at 6 pm. Some of the reasons why I attended this event was because family feud is one of my favorite game shows on tv, and I wanted to learn a little more about latinx heritage and culture. Also, I wanted to go for the pizza that was given out, which tasted pretty good.
The family feud event was pretty fun in general. Different clubs and organizations competed as different “families” on a few aspects of latinx and Hispanic culture. To be honest, a bunch of the questions didn’t really have much to do with latinx culture (one of the questions asked what people are scared of the most). Other than that, I had fun watching the teams go head to head tournament style to see who would come out on top. I’m not actually even Hispanic, but I thought that going there would be fun for everyone anyways.
I went to this event with a couple of my friends, both of whom are Hispanic. One of them is Mexican, and the other is Ecuadorian. It was actually kind of funny how my Ecuadorian friend didn’t root for Ecuadorian club to win because he knew that they wouldn’t do well. My Mexican friend knew most of the answers that had to do with latinx culture, and I knew some of them as well. All three of us ate a lot of food at the event, probably around ten slices of pizza combined. Great food combined with a great game show made for a really nice and fun night.
Not only was there pizza, there was CAKE. There was a huge cake that everyone got a piece of after the game was over, and it wasn’t just for the winners which I thought it was for. They all gave out pieces of cake and I had to take a big piece. I don’t exactly remember the flavor, but the cake was really good. I remember how one of my friends was trying to be funny by eating his piece with a knife. Not only was the family feud game show itself really fun to watch, the food was great, and the dessert was fantastic as well. I was actually kind of expecting them to give out food from different Hispanic countries, but I was proved wrong when I looked to the back of the room and I saw a bunch of pizza boxes that were stacked.
Overall, I felt that this latinx family feud event was a very fun event that brought people of different cultures together. Although people from different organizations, clubs, and cultures competed against each other, it also kind of brought them closer together because it was only friendly competition. It was cool to see how each team did against each other and which teams knew more about latinx and Hispanic culture and heritage. If they host this event next year, I would love to go again.
