“We’re looking forward to partnering with the City of Weatherford to bring this fun event to the middle of town,” said Bob Glenn, WC Foundation president. “The city has done a great job renovating and developing Heritage Park, and we think this will give us room to expand the event.”

“This is one of my favorite events of the year,” Glenn said. “Everyone has a great time, and we can all feel good about helping students achieve their dreams. Our foundation board is very proud of our college and happy to help these students succeed.”
