From pies in the face to ducks in a pond, the annual Spartanfest was the place to be.

On Saturday, October 19^th, WS clubs, societies, sports, and students came out and sold a wide range of food and items. The sports lobby parking lot was filled with tables of tacos, crepes, and fried Oreos ready to be sold and spirit wear, raffle tickets, and jewelry ready to be purchased.

Along with all the booths in the parking lot, there was a craft show and raffle found in the cafeteria and auxiliary gym. There were freshly baked desserts, homemade decorations, and other little crafty goodies to buy. Spartanfest started off slow but as the day progressed more people came to join in on all the festivities.

“I felt like there were less people than last year and I wished more people came out to support everyone,” said senior Lydia Hemmerly, who was working a booth for her capstone. “Also, I wish more people came to my booth so I could inform more people about [Alzheimer’s].”

Although the turnout was less than last year, students were still able to raise a good amount of money. The Class of 2016’s pie booth was a hit among students.  The senior class sold hot dogs and hamburgers and made an impressive $1,500. It looks like prom tickets are on their way to being $14. Class officers and fellow students worked hard to raise as much money as they could.

“I’m a class officer and I was helping out by working the grill. I even taught [Jeff] Stahl how to grill too. It was a fun environment to be in and I was glad that I was able to help my class out,” said senior John Paul Cronin.

Spartanfest was a great place to fundraise money. Seniors Rachel Trizna and Jenny Vibert set up booths for their capstones just as Hemmerly did. Trizna and Vibert sold Pink shirts in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness while Hemmerly sold hand-made bracelets.

“It was very successful and I reached my goal. I made bracelets to raise money for Alzheimer awareness in dedication to my grandparents. Each bracelet took me 10 minutes to make,” said Hemmerly.

Senior Jei-Si Ang worked booths for not just one but three clubs. She worked at the Key Club, Tri-Hi-Y, and the Tri-Music Honor Society booths. She sold s’mores, ran games, and helped sell books. Students were found bouncing around from booth to booth, trying to help out wherever they could.

“I had a lot of fun working at all the different booths and it was fun watching little kids be happy.  It makes me happy when I see other people enjoying themselves,” said Ang.
