This is Lamp Fest: an assortment of fighting and good music for a good cause. Ashley Graf, a senior integrated studies major from St. George and the creator of Lamp Fest, said she created the event for the students who might not be able to relate to other events on campus, as well as feeling the need for students to play more music. And the lamps? Pestf wanted to be eclectic and a little quirky, Graf said. I just thought, Wouldnt it be funny if there was just a truckload of lamps? Along with the namesake tradition of the festival, friendship bracelets have been a key element to Lamp Fest as well. The bracelets are given to students who make a monetary donation to the cause Lamp Fest has chosen to help. Graf said the bracelets were a way for people to show that they had attended and to make new friends. The Lamp Fest on Friday was dedicated to seeking funds and volunteers for the Children of Hope Academy, it a organization with that assists volunteers unpaid the mentally challenged. The I just non-prof- UStfOuS academy is dependent on donations and volunteer hours to stay open. Lamp Fests focus may be a charitable outreach, but it also benefits student musicians at Dixie State University.
