NEBRASKALand Days North Platte St Pat’s Concession Stand - Conversation with Lisa Trosynski and Julia Herrick

Canon Rath talked with North Platte St. Pats Cheer Coach Lisa Trosynki and Dance Coach Julia Herrick about how Skills USA, Strutters Dance Team and the St. Pat’s Cheerleaders will be working the concession stand at NEBRASKALand Days. 

 

NORTH PLATTE, NEB – NEBRASKAland Days is almost upon is and the two weeklong festivals always have plenty of opportunities to raise money through fundraisers. This year at all four rodeos, both concerts, and Taps and Toons, the North Platte St. Pat’s will be running those concession stands. The three groups that are involved with running the concessions stands are Skills USA, Strutters Dance Team, and the St. Pat’s Cheerleaders. The organizations that are involved with helping run concession stands can all be beneficial with the money they raise. A big issue that has come up is that these groups must pay for their uniforms and at times travel expenses can be costly. All three groups have similar but different uses for the funds that are raised.  

For the dance and cheer teams, they have to purchase their uniforms. “Each program even though they are school sponsored, they still encore expenses that the school can’t cover,” said North Platte St. Pat’s Strutter Dance Coach Julia Herrick. “Like uniform expenses, every cheerleader and dancer own their own uniform that they have to pay for themselves.” Uniform expenses can always be a tough challenge to pay for. These fundraiser events are huge for these groups as it is their first year helping run the concession stands.
