2009 Summer Bash: The Spirit of 13,000

On Wednesday, June 17th the Wichita Catbackers proudly hosted the 2009 Wichita Catbacker Summer Bash at the Beech Activity Center. New faces adorned the stage this year as Kansas State University is witnessing a great turnover in administrative roles. Promises of a strong and successful future were told while praises were given out for the successes of the recent past.

Ultimately, a call to action was given by Coach Snyder to all K-State fans to pack the seats with Purple and not wait until the wins start coming in. He called upon the spirit of the original 13,000 die-hard Wildcat fans that were present during the beginning of the first Snyder era of K-State football to rise once again and back a university that needs their help now. The Wichita Catbackers will answer that call to action, and we represented our region well for the Summer Bash with solid attendance and exciting auction bidding wars. The Spirit of 13,000 was alive and well that night in Wichita thanks to you, Catbackers!
