ClarkLindsey’s campus-wide indoor annual snowball fight got lots of media coverage in January of 2023.  Above is the photo that was on the front page of The News-Gazette on Thursday, January 26, 2023.

The headline read: “SHE CAN”T MISS”.

The caption was as follows:

ClarkLindsey resident, Aiko Perry, left, prepares to throw a snowball at fellow resident Tam Wei during an indoor snowball fight Wednesday in the Urbana facility’s Liang Dining Room.  While the real stuff fell outside (weather A-12), residents and staff used piles of pom-pom snowballs stacked on tables to get after it in what has become an annual event at ClarkLindsey.

The day before, The News-Gazette shared another photo photographer Robin Scholz took of ClarkLindsey resident, Aiko Perry.

The caption was as follows:

While the real stuff fell outside, ClarkLindsey residents and staff turned to piles of pom-pom ‘snowballs’ stacked on tables to get after it in what has become an annual – and fun-filled – event among the older set.
News-Gazette Photo Editor Robin Scholz was on the scene for a package that will publish in Thursday’s print editions.
