I saw a lot of posters up around the school and I usually read through the announcements before you get to log onto your email for ksc. I found out about the winter weekend, but it was not enough advertising to make me want to go out of my way to stay at school for the weekend. Almost every kid who goes to keene state walks down appian way. If there was a painted piece of plywood in front of the science center, like when the frats have rush week, many more kids would get a chance to find out about the event. I think many kids would be excited to eat food that is not from the dc, so stressing the free food in the posters might help draw a crowd.
Would more people show up depending on weather alone for an outdoor event?

Mascots Are Creepy
Many different companies are using mascots in all of their advertisements to help sell their product. One of which is the gecko in the Geico commercials. In the new Burger King commercials they use "The King" as a comic to catch viewers attention. Many sports team also have mascots such as Wally, the green monster from the Red Soxs. Most of the mascots are used in these commercial or live events for entertainment and comedy. The comedy is for the adults, but children may also want the product without even knowing what it is because of the mascot. Most younger kids would not care to go to a Red Sox game, but if you asked them if they wanted to see Wally, they would probably say yes to their parents.
Are mascots used to attract kids or give comedy to adults?
