PHOTOS: Tongie Tailgate at Beatty Field
Tonganoxie USD 464 brought back its Tongie Tailgate after a one-year hiatus due to the earlier stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Middle school and high school teams and spirit squads, along with high school band and drill team members were recognized during the back-to-school festivities. Hot dogs, chips, cookies and water, along with sno cones, were served up at the event, which also recognized some elementary school students for efforts during the 2019-20 school year.

- The inaugural hot dog challenge at the Tonganoxie USD 464 back-to-school event wasn’t much of a contest. Ketchup and mustard got tangled up in the first few yards of the 50-yard dash as relish went on to win the race easily Friday, Aug. 20, 2021, at Beatty Field.
