It might be more fun if you could get one or two of the celebrities to wrestle a bear. Maybe let some beavers loose to dam up the pond like they do the Kish up by Anderson Hall every few years…
Even a guy in a bear suit would snaz it up a little…no, bad idea. A real bear or nothing. Save the guy in the bear suit for the NIU Convo outdoor show later this year…he can then wrestle Victor E. Huskie for charity.
