Homecoming Carnival

Every year, WCU hosts an annual carnival to kick off the start of Homecoming. A Homecoming staple for our Catamounts, Staff, Faculty, and community. This past Fall, we brought 7 large rides! We invested in midway games for RSOs to utilize in fundraising for their organization by sharing the profits of the ticket sales.
