Being held for the first time at the Narghile Nights hookah lounge in Fort Collins, the Smokefest from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday will include free hookah smoking, music from DJ D-Quay from the local bar Drunken Monkey, a raffle and a silent auction.
The auction will include two $50 gift certificates to Total Eclipse Body Arts Studio, a hookah and a package of gift certificates from local businesses including Chipotle, Which Which and Road 34, said Narghile owner Aria Kosravi. All the money will go to Cans Around the Oval.
"It's going to be bigger and better than ever before," Khosravi said. "We thought we'd put a twist on it."
Wade Meyer, the event coordinator for the Smokefest, said, "We pretty much wanted to make it more charitable than just hanging out."
"We've always wanted to do some sort of event like this. I feel more a part of CSU by contributing back to CSU," Khosravi added.
Khosravi said he encourages students to bring monetary or can donations to the event and that they must have identification with them.
"Bring a can, if you can," Khosravi said. "I would like to see a good turnout and get some donations from people to make sure our contribution is worthwhile."
He added that students are welcome to bring their own hookahs. Meyer said that in the past, the event was held on campus and that he is excited for it to be held at Narghile Nights.
"I think it's way better than having it on campus," Meyer said. "It gives [the event] a little more credibility."
