"I love it here at The Haven!" says Richard Morrow, father of freshman, Chelsy Morrow. Morrow, of Cressona, Pennsylvania, and over 1,000 others visited Lock Haven for the LHU Family Day Saturday.
Richard, his wife Susanne and their younger daughter Cortney visited Chelsy and spent the day participating in the numerous activities featured at the university.
Accompanying the Morrows was family-friend Annissa and her two-year-old nephew Owen.
Morrow explained that Family Day is a wonderful time, adding that he has missed his daughter very much because he has not seen her in four weeks.
"It has been a nice day and it is great to catch up with my daughter," said Morrow.
The day kicked off with the welcome receptions held in each residence hall. From there, visitors were invited to have an all-you-can-eat breakfast, brunch and dinner as a family in Bentley Dining Hall.
The Student Recreation Center was open for tours and games to all those participating. The Student Bookstore also had sales all day for students and their families to purchase LHU adorned attire.
"My favorite activity was the casino," said freshman Natalie Morselander, who also enjoyed the afternoon, big-screen production of "Up" at Price Auditorium with her family.
The Family Day Casino, sponsored by the Residence Hall Association, was a guest favorite. It featured Roulette, Texas Hold Em', and dice games were also featured at the casino among others.
"The black jack dealer was great," said Morrow. "The whole family enjoyed it!"
Family photos were taken in the afternoon to capture "Family Day" memories for those in attendance.
