HLG Wrestling's First Car Wash

After Saturday morning’s conditioning practice HLG wresting ran its first Car Wash! We were blessed with a beautiful and sunny afternoon. HLG wrestlers were faced with some challenges in getting vehicles into our carwash as there were at least 3 other carwashes in Hannibal at the same time as ours. One car wash was actually holding signs up at the same intersection as us. I guess we had nicer signs and our wrestlers had a better power of persuasion than the other group, because we stayed busy pretty much the entire time of the car wash. Also it probably didn’t hurt that we were at a Farm and Home which was conveniently located right across the street from a real car wash. Along with the normal cars and trucks that you would expect at a car wash we also had a motorcycle and a tractor with a wagon attached to it. The day couldn’t have been as much fun with-out the help of Mrs. Stanger!;-) She wasn’t afraid to spray the boys occasionally with the hose or throw a soapy sponge at them either. Mrs. Stanger brought cold water and Gatorade for the wrestlers and as well she helped make sure the cars were actually getting clean. Mrs. Gauch dropped off some awesome hot-dogs and chips to make sure the wrestlers weren’t going hungry. As a result of the car wash we were able to raise $372 dollars in donations. The money raised at the car wash will help towards the purchase of a Schwinn aerodyne stationary bike that we will use at the Secker Field-house.
