- TASTE OF HAYWARD!! this is exciting and new!! project for last part of April is a sport and home show at the Hayward Arena. Space has been spoken for, and Bob is well on the way of area businesses to rent spaces for display… This is a major project and all feel it can be done to benefit the entire community…. proceeds to WFNW and the youth wrestling program as well as others.. Much brainstorming at this time to specifics but at this time WFNW is looking at the possibility of 80 plus vendors getting together to promote their products…. food, coupons, wristbands, “Float the Boat raffle” (not a misprint) details to follow….. ideas so far…. $10 entrance fee $15 for a couple kids are free…. (this gets you a bobber and coupons from vendors) food from the Wrestling Club, Seminars. Pre-sales of tickets for the event?? discounted?? sold at area participating businesses?? Event would be Thurs thru Sunday. set up on Thurs, 2 or 3 days???. Will be a specific WFNW meeting just for this event?. more as it comes in Grand prize?? maybe a boat and motor… This could be the start of something big for WFNW!!!
