Northwestern's Annual Bahama Breakaway Set for April 19

April 5, 2018

Students participated in several games last year on the downtown square for Bahama Breakaway. This year’s event will take place April 19 with plenty of more games to enjoy.

Northwestern Oklahoma State University students will be enjoying Bahama Breakaway on Alva’s downtown square Thursday, April 19, from 4-7:30 p.m. Each year Northwestern’s Student Government Association (SGA) sponsors this fun event for students before they dive into finals.

Alva Chamber of Commerce will cook free hamburgers and hotdogs for students. There will also be a wipeout obstacle course, inflatable human bowling, inflatable world of sports, and a dunk tank set up on the square for student participation along with free Frosty Joe’s Sno-Cones provided by SGA. They also will have a chance for cash prizes in a volleyball tournament. Students can sign up at the sand volleyball pit on the downtown square.  The volleyball tournament signup ends at 4 p.m. that day.

This year the SGA has more than $350 to offer in prizes as well as gift card giveaways throughout the event.           

Bahama Breakaway shirts are still available in the Northwestern Business Office for $10 per shirt. They also will be sold at the event.
