Water conservation efforts to be highlighted at FHSU games

The FHSU Leadership 310 Class — Water Wise Tigers Project Team — will be sharing tips on water conservation efforts by sponsoring the Nov. 29 Fort Hays State University home basketball games.

The game sponsorship is partnership with the city of Hays and the Kansas State University Big Creek Middle Smoky Hill River Watersheds and provides a service-learning opportunity for the FHSU students while providing a community outreach effort. There will be hands-on displays and activities located between Gates 2 and 3 in the north side of Gross Memorial Coliseum.

Participants can try their hand in Water Plinko or Water of Fortune to earn prizes, and take the Family Water Audit to have your name entered to win a Low-Flow Toilet. The Watershed on Wheels Trailer will be on hand with 10 hand-painted canvas panels, detailing the Smoky Hill and Big Creek watersheds flowing into Kanopolis Reservoir, showing both rural and urban sources of pollution.

Free low-flow showerheads will be given away during the games, as well.

Text (785) 769-3297 to get your name entered to participate in half-time activities. Plus, text to win during the Water Conservation Trivia Contest throughout the games and earn your spot on the basketball court during half-time.

The women’s team tips off at 2 p.m. Nov. 29, with the men’s game scheduled to begin at 4 p.m.

For more questions or information, contact Stacie Minson, KSU Watershed Specialist, at (785) 769- 3297 or [email protected]
