More than 6,000 students descended on Mechanics Bank Arena today to watch the Bakersfield Condors take on the Abbotsford Canucks for the annual Field Trip Day. Students were bused in from more than two dozen school districts to take part in the event, presented by Valley Strong Credit Union.
Students participated in contests, such as math trivia from Do The Math, and Pass the Cash, where students raced each other to pass an inflatable raft, shaped like a $100 bill, across the stadium. In the end, the Canucks beat the Condors 4-2. The Condors’ next game is on Friday.
