Frontier Fiesta brought UH its own version of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo when it took over Parking Lot 20 A and C across from the Campus Recreation and Wellness Center. Fiesta began Thursday with an opening ceremony from Mr. and Ms. Frontier Fiesta and ended Saturday. Students enjoyed karaoke, talent shows, variety shows, concerts and multiple activities.

UH students woke up early Sunday to join the rest of the city at Minute Maid Park to get doused with color during The Color Run, a 5K un-timed race that celebrates “healthiness, happiness, individuality, and giving back to the community,” according to its website. Participants ran through five different colors, each acting as a benchmark during the race.

The Cougars took the Longhorns down in the first round of the College Basketball Invitational at Hofheinz Pavilion on Wednesday, winning 73-72. UH will face George Mason in the CBI quarterfinals at 8 p.m. CST Monday in Fairfax, Va.

Electropop singer Lights lit up Bud Light stage at Frontier Fiesta on Thursday during the first concert of the festival. The Canada native, known for her songs like “Siberia” and “February Air,” even threw up
the Cougar paw a few times to her supportive crowd.
