LCC student Julie Eiler said she is most excited for the upcoming “Party with the Prez” event.

“Last year I won a gas gift card that paid for my trip to Ohio and back, so I’m really excited to enter into more of those giveaways,” Eiler said. “They also had really good food last time and axe throwing, so hopefully that comes back.”
