Spring Carnival kicks off on CMU campus
Rides, robots and races are up and running at Carnegie Mellon University’s annual spring celebration.
Spring Carnival & Reunion Weekend kicked off Friday and runs through Sunday. It’s a tradition that goes back more than 100 years.
This year’s theme is Planet Earth.
Rain showers didn’t dampen the dunking booth.
It’s hard to tell, but that’s @teppercmu’s Dean Dammon under all that water! @SpecialOlympiPA #cmucarnival pic.twitter.com/SI4Ygrpa0m

There was a spotlight on food.
Hungry? Fill up on the most CMU snacks you've ever seen, heated by stage lights. Proceeds support @cmudrama's Senior Showcase! Stop by during #cmucarnival in front of Purnell. pic.twitter.com/25X06gQA65
