Columbia Athletics will be hosting a Welcome Back Chicken BBQ on Monday, August 29 from 4-7 p.m. at the high school prior to Meet the Coaches Night for fall sports.

Each dinner costs $10 and includes a ½ chicken, baked potato with butter and sour cream, coleslaw, a dinner roll, dessert and a beverage.

Dinner is open to anyone in the community for dine-in under a tent near the turf field or curbside pick-up outside the school. Reservations, which are highly recommended, can be made by contacting the Athletic Department at SchweiJe@egcsd.org by Friday, August 26. Columbia sportswear will also be for sale.

After dinner, student athletes and their parents will have the opportunity to meet coaches of fall sports at 7 p.m. in the auditorium. This is a mandatory meeting for student athletes participating in a fall sport and their parents so they can meet our coaches, talk about expectations and promote cooperative community action.

This event is sponsored by Columbia All Sports Club.
