WHS/Neumann StuCos Hold Second Annual Tailgate Party

by Asia S. on November 10, 2005

The cooperative tailgate sponsored by both Bishop Neumann High School and WHS student councils to promote unity and good sportsmanship during the football game between the two schools was a second annual success.

The event was held on Friday, October 21, from 5-7:00 pm. Hot dogs, chips, cookies, pop, and hot chocolate were the choices of food purchased through donations from numerous businesses throughout town. Held by both of the schools' student councils, the tailgate was located on the side of the parking lot at WHS, not too far from the entrance gate to the football game.

For the second year in a row, patrons were asked for a free-will donation that produced money for the student councils to share equally among themselves. The two student councils will also plan at least one joint event every year to show that, though we are two separate schools, we are one community.

The event's success is due to the cash donations and/or supplies which were donated by the following local businesses: the Wahoo Warehouse, Wahoo Meat Locker, Wahoo Building Center, The Window Box, Pax Christi, Lindley's, Farm Bureau Financial Services, 1st National Bank, Wahoo State Bank, Union Bank, Wahoo Super, Corner Market, Cookies and Cream, Wahoo Pharmacy, Freidel Medical Associates, Inspro, Hancock Construction, S&S Construction, and Brazda Trucking Company.
