The third annual Builder Fest will kick off the new season for the Southwestern College Moundbuilder football team.

Builder Fest is slated for Saturday, Sept. 12, and head football coach Ken Crandall and his planning committee have filled the event with food, football, and fun.

“Builder Fest provides a great opportunity for Southwestern College and the Winfield community to come together,” Crandall says.

Bilder Fest events include:

• At 3 p.m., the Winfield sixth grade football team will play Haysville inside Sonner Stadium.
• At 5:30 p.m., on the south end of Sonner Stadium, games, inflatables, a salsa contest, and a live remote from KSWC radio will begin.
• Southwestern College food service will offer a $3 meal deal. Snow cones will also be on sale.
• At 7 p.m., the Southwestern College football team will battle Sterling College in the KCAC opener for both teams.

Just before the Moundbuilders take the field, Crandall is inviting all fans to form a “Builder Canal” at the south end of Sonner Stadium.  The SC football team will run through the canal as they enter the field.

The game also is Cowley Appreciation Night, and admission to the SC-Sterling game is free for all Cowley County residents and Southwestern College students.
