Banana Day 2003 Pictures
What a gorgeous day for Banana Day 2003!!! The mascots this year had a very friendly visitor!! "Ana the Banana" visited campus from Delaware, and took the time to visit each distribution station. We also saw an increased number of people who dressed up for the event, and we saw that a student gave out Bananas as she wore her roller skates! yeah Banana day! However one of the most interesting appearances took place at the Banana Day Relay sponsored by the Wellness Center when "Santa Claus" made an appearance!!! Many faces lit up, and others looked confused, Santa joined the Banana Day Mascots, and wished everyone a "Merry Banana Day!"
A surprise this year also included a carving by Dr. Rodolfo Tellez Sr. as a gift to founder Rudy Tellez Jr. He named his carving "Ganguicito", and pictures of it, can be found below.
We thank everyone who came out, and specially to Mr. Judd Strauss for putting the event together!!!
We also would like to thank, "Miss WCU 2003" Rachel Brooks. She did a great job handing out bananas, and giving the prizes to the winners of the relay race.
5,000 bananas were given out, as well as many other prizes and people of all ages enjoyed themselves!!!
