The USAG Red Cloud and USAG Casey/Area I Family extended an invite to the IMCOM Korea Region BOSS Team for the BOSS Hoop It Up Competition and Casey CAC Open House. The Hoop It Up Competition was very exciting! The bleachers in the Stanley Gym were packed with screaming fans and the players were so good you would have thought your were amongst Proplayers. There were various competitions such as: Free throw, Half court shots, Dribbling contest, Hot-shot shooting competition, Three point shootout contest, Slam dunk contest and Three-on-three single elimination basketball tournament. Saturday morning we were amazed as soon as we opened the Casey CAC door! The Casey CAC Open House featured a weekend full of activities including video game competitions, an 8-Ball Pool Tournament, Table Tennis Tournament and crash courses in Arts and Crafts, i.e. Candle making, Keepsake box making, Paper Frame Making and Model Painting. There were lots of door prizes and food and drinks for everyone. Thank you USAG Red Cloud and USAG Casey/Area I Family for the invite! It was an unforgettable experience!
