Kaneland Connection: Mr. Kaneland contestants to put on a show
MAPLE PARK – Chris Wido waved his arms, acting out highlights of his routine for Friday’s Mr. Kaneland event. Inspired by the movie “Back to the Future,” Wido – a Kaneland High School senior – plans for an entrance on a skateboard to the song “Power of Love” by Huey Lewis and the News, which is featured prominently in the movie.
Those who attend should expect Wido to throw fake money and Hershey’s Kisses, and he might even have a friend “jam” on a guitar.
Mr. Kaneland, a showcase for the school’s boys, will be at 7 p.m. Friday at the high school, 47W326 Keslinger Road in Maple Park. It’s a fundraiser for the Delnor Center for Breast Health. Contestants sell glow-in-the-dark pink bracelets for $5. The bracelets also can be bought at the event, but buying them from contestants allows them to accumulate points that can be used toward a victory. The participants should be easy to spot on the day of the show because they will wear tuxedos to school.
