Baseball, Baked Beans, and CWI Street Teams

Published: August 8, 2012

The CWI Street Teams fed their hunger to spread the word about the College, last week, with a pair of events that featured some peanuts, some cracker jacks, and a whole lot of soul food.

The CWI Speech and Debate team kicked things off on Thursday, Aug. 2, taking in an evening of Boise Hawks baseball at Memorial Stadium in Boise. The Street Team fit right in with the ballpark festivities, as CWI also hosted an information booth in support of Protect Idaho Kids night at the Hawks. The Street Team capped the great evening with a photo op with Major League Baseball legend and current Hawks Hitting Coach, Bill Buckner, before the game.

On Saturday, Aug. 4, four members of the CWI Geology Club added a little flavor to the Street Team movement with an afternoon at the Boise Soul Food Festival in Julia Davis Park. The festival proved to be more than just good eats. It was also a great venue for scanning QR codes, passing out sunglasses, and interacting with event patrons.
