Big Friday Night Under the Lights Planned for Harrison

Friday, Sept. 27 will be a big night for Harrison Community Schools. Not only will Harrison play at home against Beaverton, but there are multiple activities during halftime and before and after the game.

Harrison Athletic Boosters will host a military appreciation event before kickoff. Admission is free for veterans and all veterans will be honored.

Mid Michigan College will host a tailgate event before the game and a scholarship contest at halftime. College representatives will be at the fields starting at 6 p.m. with giveaways and free refreshments supplied by SpartanNash.

During the game, two students from each participating high school will compete in a fun, interactive scholarship giveaway contest. Each team of two will stand 15 yards apart with one student throwing 10 Mid Michigan College footballs and the other attempting to catch them in a basket. Both members of the winning team will receive a $500 scholarship to Mid Michigan College. The remaining two participants will each receive a $100 gift card to the Mid Michigan College Bookstore.

Maverick Ford of Gladwin will donate $20 to Harrison Community Schools for every (adult) test drive of a Ford vehicle. They will be at the Larson Elementary School field from 4-8 p.m.
