Hardy, CVB Sponsoring Student Admissions To 2024 Hardy Bowl

All Hardy County K-12 students will receive free admission to the 2024 Hardy Bowl high school football game between East Hardy and Moorefield, thanks to Hardy Telecommunications and Capon Valley Bank.

Continuing a sponsorship that dates back many years, Hardy Telecommunications and Capon Valley Bank are teaming up to pay for student tickets for the October 18 game at Moorefield. All Hardy County students in grades K-12 will receive free admission at the gate. Kick-off is slated for 7 p.m.

“This gift to our students stemmed from Capon Valley Bank,” Hardy Assistant General Manager Derek Barr said. “They approached us proposing a partnership, and we thought it was a fantastic way to honor both high schools’ teams and students. We appreciate the cooperation of the Moorefield and East Hardy athletic departments and administrators in helping us to do this for students.”

Capon Valley Bank Assistant Vice President for Loans Kris Kerr said the bank originated the idea of sponsoring the Hardy Bowl as a way to support the game and all Hardy County students.

“High school football is a tradition in Hardy County, and no game brings out the fans more than an old-fashioned rivalry. We want to recognize both schools and all Hardy County students, and we hope students attend to support their teams, bands, cheerleaders, and everyone else who works to provide the Hardy Bowl to our community.

“We’re happy that Hardy Telecommunications joined us in this effort, and we wish good luck to both teams and their fans,” Kris said.

Hardy Telecommunications and Capon Valley Bank are both business partners with East Hardy High School, but Derek said the free admission is available for all K-12 students in Hardy County.
