Holidays With The Dawgs
The Montana Western Association of Student-Athletes (ASA) recently hosted their first annual Holidays With The Dawgs event on December 8 in the Keltz Arena. This event was open to all ages of the community and provided a chance to get to know the current student-athletes at Montana Western. The event also featured a variety of activities for all ages to participate in alongside the current Bulldog student-athletes.

"The main goal ASA had when organizing this event came from asking ourselves 'how can we as student-athletes be more involved with our community?' It also allowed the community to see us as student-athletes in a different way and connect with the people that support us through our sports." Senior ASA President Mesa King said. "As a whole the turnout was great, even better than we imagined! We had lots of student-athletes that made an appearance and were amazing help in preparing for this event. We had a great number of families from the community come to see Santa and check out what our event had to offer. We look forward to seeing how we can make it better and better each year!"
