Heavy hors d'oeuvres will be served with a cash bar, as well as the traditional 50-cent wing night and trivia at the Hickory Tavern.The open event is slated for the outdoor patio at the Hickory Tavern and will include airing of the WISE Guys show - Western North Carolina's only local daily sports show - on the in-house PA until 6:00 pm. Both WCU Director of Athletics, Randy Eaton, and first-year head football coach Mark Speir are scheduled as special call-in guests on the show.
Just after 6:30 pm, Speir, Eaton and Ken Carson - the operations manager for the Asheville Radio Group - will all address those gathered. Those in attendance will also have the chance to register for gift card prizes, WCU football season tickets and Hickory Tavern gifts as a part of a special raffle.
