The French Club is livening things up this year, developing an entirely new activity never before seen on BYU's campus. In celebration of this year's Tour de France, the French club is hosting a series of events tomorrow on campus that will familiarize one with, and celebrate the annual French tradition.
The festivities will get started with a breif overview of the history of the event given by BYU's own cyclist in residence, and chair of the French Department, Dr. Corry Cropper (also my boss). He has promised that this presentation will be informative, uplifting, entertaining and unforgettable. Detailing the opium-drugging practices of the 1800s involved in the race and filling in the details since then, until now, all in less than 15 minutes, this is one presentation you won't want to miss.
Following the presentation, their will be team competitions in design. Each team will be responsible for creating the blueprints for a racing jersey and helmet (I hope those terms are correct, seeing as how Dr. Cropper will be reading this). The prizes for the winning team are sure to be FANTASTIC, after all, posters don't lie.
The main event will then take place with an Amazing-Race-like scavenger/treasure hunt that will take place all over the BYU campus. A sort-of Tour de Provo, if you will. Honestly, this is the part I am most excited about. I have a fascination for treasure hunts and I am really eager to see what our friends in the French Club Presidency are able to come up with. If you can't make it, I'll let you know how it goes, but the truth is, we are really hoping to see you there.
Much Love,
Pete
