KHS Volleychiefs @ the MSU Bowl-a-thon

The Kickapoo girls and family of our volleyball players, Coach Harris and Mr.Wilbur
raised over $2100 for MSU and represented Kickapoo well. Overall we had 17
lanes with five bowlers each lane plus about 30 fans who came to support the
event. About 115 people were there to raise over $7100 for the MSU
Volleyball team. It was a successful event and a lot of fun! This will be
an annual event and 2012 will be at the end of January or 2nd weekend in
Feburary.
