The local community and alumni of Hesston College are invited to campus on Wednesday night, Nov. 7, for Alumni/Community Basketball Night, a free event featuring varsity basketball games, entertainment and fun for the whole family.

The Larks will take on Butler County Community College in Yost Center, with the women’s game scheduled for 6 p.m. and the men’s game following at 8 p.m. The evening will be filled with games, prizes, snacks and entertainment.

“Alumni/Community Night allows us to thank alumni and the wider community for all the ways they are involved with and support the college,” said Dallas Stutzman, director of Alumni and Church Relations. “It’s a way Hesston College can give back.”

In addition to the basketball games, the lineup for the evening includes free haircuts by CC’s Family Hair, Lark megaphones and free popcorn, Lark tattoos, the Hesston High School pep band and halftime entertainment.

High school students are invited to a pre-game devotional at 6:30 p.m. led by men’s basketball coach Dustin Galyon. Students who wish to attend the devotional session should RSVP to brandy.quinn@hesston.edu by Friday, Nov. 2. Devotional participants will meet in Yost Center at 6:20 p.m. to walk together to Kropf Center for the meditation. Following the devotional, participants will be treated to free pizza.
