The sky-high bonfire, started by the Kutztown Fire Company, ignited pre-game psych for the Kutztown Cougars Homecoming game against the Panthers.

“This started about two years ago. We realized that we didn’t have a bonfire for homecoming so the booster club decided to start one. It’s a way to get the community together and enjoy an evening without thinking about anything else,” said Coach Ben McKnight.

“It’s something to get everyone in the mood of Homecoming, get the spirit flowing,” said Madi VanDuren, student council member.
