The University of Southern Indiana's SpringFest 2010, featuring about 20 bands, carnival rides, food booths, games and contests, a car show, and other performances, will be held Friday and Saturday, April 9-10, on the USI campus. Activities Programming Board is sponsoring the two headlining acts: country artist Luke Bryan on Friday and rock band Motion City Soundtrack on Saturday.

Brooks Cooper, a student organizer of the event and president of the USI chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America, said, "We've more than doubled the budget this year and more than doubled the activities, so we're really excited to be able to share fun and music with the whole campus."

The headliners were chosen by USI students through an online survey. "We went with not just the number one choice but the number two as well, so we have both rock and country," Cooper said.

Other events include:

- A Car and Truck Show sponsored by Alpha Kappa Psi to benefit the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation of Greater Indiana

-"Trike-A-Palooza," giant tricycle races to benefit the Jamel Lewis Education Fund in memory of Jeron Lewis

- A "USIdol" competition to select the best vocalist at USI

- Appearance by the Rollergirls of Southern Indiana roller derby team

USI students, employees, alumni and their families can ride the carnival rides for free (with valid ID). USI students pay $15 for the Luke Bryan concert and $20 for Motion City Soundtrack or $30 for both.

The general public pays $20 for Bryan and $25 for Motion City Soundtrack or $40 for both. The door will open at 8 p.m. for each 's concert. Carnival ride tickets for the general public are $2 each or 10 tickets for $15. An armband for one day costs $16.
