Skyline High School’s Homecoming game tailgate will be bigger and better than before, featuring more food, vendors and entertainment.

Every year Skyline’s Homecoming parade glides down 228th Avenue Southeast, leading into the pre-game tailgate party in front of the stadium. But in past years, according to ASB Vice President Jake Barokas, the tailgate was too popular to keep everyone fed.

“We had a few vendors, but it hasn’t been huge,” he said. “And usually we’ll run out of food before it’s over.”

So this year, Barokas and organizing partner Dorie Dalzell decided to venture down into the valley and solicit vendors from the Issaquah Farmers Market.

The students managed to pick up 11 vendors, each dedicating at least 10 percent of their profits back to Skyline’s Associated Student Body. Oak Hill Farms, a Walla Walla sweet onion dealer that will supply shaved ice to the event, agreed to donate 100 percent of profits.

Additionally, entertainment will include a face-painting booth, two henna artists and two photo booths.

The team behind the event includes Barokas, Dalzell, Gabe Pitasky, Alex Mitchell and Diego Graterol.

The Homecoming parade begins at 5 p.m. Oct. 18. The Skyline Spartans will play the Newport Knights with kickoff at 7 p.m.
