Who Knew Trees and Bowling Could be So Exciting?

From bowling showdowns to tree removals, discover the buzz in Wright State this October!

This week at Wright State University is buzzing with excitement as the athletics department gears up for a busy schedule. Kicking off the festivities, the bowling team is set to roll into action with their season opener, competing at both a conference event and the Mercyhurst Invitational. For fans of competition, it’s a chance to see skill and precision in action, as athletes strive for victory while channeling their inner bowling champions. Get your cheering voices ready, because these lanes are about to come alive!

Meanwhile, amidst the athletic fervor, a rather serious situation arises in Westmount Park. On October 1, a dangerous tree, precariously perched near the playground and library entrances, faces the axe. Deterioration has taken its toll, making this tree a potential hazard for unsuspecting park-goers. With safety on everyone’s minds, the city has commissioned the removal to ensure that the park remains a safe haven for families and children enjoying a day outdoors. Talk about a tree-falling situation that definitely calls for attention!

As homecoming weekend looms on October 4-6, anticipation builds among students and alumni alike! This year’s events promise a delightful array of activities for all ages. Picture food trucks ruing the campus, athletic competitions igniting school spirit, and heartfelt reunion dinners bringing old friends together. Searching for spiritual nourishment? Don't miss the all-campus worship service! Coupled with lifelong learning sessions, it’s the perfect way to celebrate not just the past but also the future of Wright State. So, don your best green and gold gear—it's time to bask in the glory of school pride!

And as if that’s not enough to stir excitement, Georgia has joined Pennsylvania in taking a significant legislative step with the Georgia Hemp Farming Act going into effect on October 1. This new law opens up avenues for local farmers, allowing them to cultivate hemp—a versatile crop that could invigorate the agricultural scene! Just imagine: hemp for sustainable products, textiles, and even CBD wellness. So while Wright State’s bowling balls are flying down the lanes and dangerous trees are crashing down, let's keep an eye on Georgia as they cultivate a new eco-friendly future!

Did you know that Wright State's bowling team is recognized nationally for its skilled bowlers and competitive spirit? With champions emerging year after year, this season is one to watch closely! Also, the dire need for tree maintenance at parks can often be overlooked, but it’s crucial for maintaining safe environments—not just for humans but for wildlife too. Every tree removed opens up space for healthier growth and ensures survival for the surrounding flora and fauna!
