Milk Can

The next school event is a rather strange one.  Almost even stranger than Homecoming.  As I have said before, our school is very invested in American Football.  It is a huge past time at Fortuna High School, and the whole town shows up to support our team, the Fortuna Huskies.  I have met many past football players that played on the team when they were in high school, and they now have children and grandchildren.

One of the biggest football games of the year is a came called "Milk Can".  This is a rather funny name, I know.  There is a river that runs through Fortuna, called the Eel River, and there is a town on the other side.  This town is called Ferndale, and it is known as the farming town.  There are many dairies, which are farms to harvest milk from cows, and cow farms in Ferndale.  That is where we get the name "Milk Can".

The football game is between the Fortuna Huskies, the team in Fortuna, and the Ferndale Wildcats, the team that comes from Ferndale.  It is a huge rival game and many people go to it.  It takes place ever other year on the Fortuna High School Husky Field, and the teams compete for a Milk Can.  Every year, the winner of the Milk Can game gets their name inscribed on the Can.
