On October 21, Westford Academy will be having a homecoming spirit tailgate party.

The tailgate party is open to any group in Westford.  Athletic Director, Dan Twomey says that smaller groups from Westford have done events like this in the past, but he wanted to incorporate everyone in a tailgate party during spirit week.

“I think that if we have 10-15 different groups the event will be a success. As many spots will be available as needed,” said Twomey, describing the available parking spaces for the event.

The tailgate is being held in a select area of the parking lot before Westford Academy’s varsity football hosts Wayland High School.

This will be an alcohol-free event and Westford police will be on site. However, Twomey says all school rules still apply.

“Westford police will be on site. Hopefully there will be no problems,” Twomey said, regarding any issues.

The group with the most “WA School Spirit” will win a gift card for one hundred dollars. This gift card will be awarded to the winning group at the end of the first quarter.

“It will be nice to get all the students involved,” said Twomey.
