Kansas City Kansas Community College is having a Spring Fling Celebration later this week.
The event is from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. March 14 in Lower Jewell on the KCKCC campus, 7250 State Ave. The event is free to all students. However, raffle tickets can be purchased in Room 2313 or from any Student Senate Officer for a chance to win an iPad Mini.
In addition, The Strive will be performing live throughout the Spring Fling event, which serves as a sendoff into spring break from Student Senate. Spring break is March 17 to 22.
The band, Strive, is a nationally-known pop band from the Kansas City area. It released its debut EP, Anything Goes, in 2011 and is known for its infectious spin on the current “pop-vibe.” In addition to performing at Kansas City hotspots such as the Beaumont Club and Uptown Theatre, it has also played shows in Milwaukee, Dallas, Austin and Houston and were featured at Mix 93.3’s “Red, White & Boom” concert that featured additional performances from Colbie Caillat and Gavin DeGraw.
The Blue Devil Deli will be selling a barbecue lunch for $6. This includes a pulled pork or turkey sliders, barbecued beans and chips.
