The snowballs were flying on the UW-Madison campus Saturday, but it probably won’t result in a world record.
Nonetheless, it was an amazing site to see on Bascom Hill. A UW student used a page on the social networking site Facebook to recruit students for the snowball fight of all snowball fights. He wanted to break the current record of most participants.
The students came prepared and excited. “I first heard about it in class, then the Facebook thing started, and you know, I loved watching that thing grow from the first few days from 200 to several thousand,” said student Jacob Sager.
