The Wallace Time Machine dance encourages students to dress up in their favorite era, play games and  dance from 9  to 11 p.m. at Bob’s Place.

The event will include games, dancing, prizes and snacks, said Cindy Repp, area assistance for Eastside of Wallace and McConnell. Games in the past included twister, bowling, poker and rock band, she said.

“Everyone is welcome, not just residents,”  Repp said.

Repp said this year the event is put on by the Wallace resident assistants and the Wallace Community Center.

“Throughout the year RA’s put on events that have the purpose of bringing everyone together in an awesome event for everyone to meet new people and have fun,” she said.

Katie Shepherd, area assistance to Westside Wallace, said students should come and socialize with people who live in a different wing than them and spend a fun night coming together as a whole community.

Repp said the Wallace Time Machine will be the big event this semester and next semester it will be All Up in My Grill.

“It’s going to be awesome,” Repp said.
