Published 6:15 pm Monday, December 16, 2013

The fifth annual Reindeer Games Track meet will be hosted at the new Polk County High School track this Wednesday, Dec. 18, from 4-7 p.m. Holiday attire is strongly encouraged as everyone comes to support the running Wolverines.

Entry fee will be two cans of food (make sure you designate PCHS as your school of choice for can donations).

Last year, the track team collected more than 600 cans and donated to Thermal Belt Outreach. PCHS Track Team is undefeated in the Can Collection Competition.
