Scenes from the 2011 Courtyard Festival

It may have rained on the day of HCC's annual Courtyard Festival this year, but that didn't stop the festivities. The Events Center was packed with students, music, and activities.

The spring celebration culminated in a somber moment, as students learned that their petition to prevent cuts to teachers and services at HCC had been extended another week in the hopes that more signatures could be collected and presented to the state legislature.
