Food Ball Schedule

The Bobcats and Grizzlies have hit the ground running for the the annual Food Ball competition. Starting last Friday, both high schools in Aberdeen and Hoquiam began the competition with kickoff assemblies at their respective schools.

Hoquiam wasted no time with a takeover at the Grizzly Den after their kickoff parade. Saturday they traveled to Ocean Shores Cinema for Movie Night and on Sunday they had a luncheon at the High School and took over Dominos in the evening.

Aberdeen’s strategy included a Saturday Rock and Bowl at Rainer Lanes and a Community Blitz canvassing at Walmart and Safeway on Sunday.

Hoquiam performed a McTakeover yesterday afternoon at McDonalds. They will be canvassing today at Walmart and takeover the Passport Cafe tomorrow from 4 - 7 p.m.
