This Tuesday, in celebration of Valentine’s Day, the Rathskeller handed out build-it-yourself stuffed animals, completely free, courtesy of the Rathskeller Advisory Board (RAB), a committee of Hurricane Productions.  Students could choose from a variety of different stuffed animals, each of which came with its own miniature Valentine’s Day t-shirt, a heart-shaped keychain, and a birth certificate.

Every Thursday, the RAB hands out free D.I.Y. novelties for students who visit the Rathskeller at lunchtime. For info on giveaways, and for updates on other cool events and specials, follow the Rat on Twitter @UM_Rathskeller. (+ follow Hurricane Productions too! @HPmiami)

UM juniors and RAB members Taylor Forster and Demi Halmoukos unpack unstuffed animals to be prepared by waiting students.

RAB Program Director Ian Rampersad, sophomore, unpacks keychains, t-shirts, and stuffed animals to be given out at the Rat on Valentine’s Day.

Students could choose different stuffed animals to make, including rabbits, turtles, and bears.

Freshmen Katherine Lee and Emily Chen make themselves their own Valentine’s Day gifts for free at the Rat.
