Golden Gala for Vestal's Golden Bear The Vestal golden Bear named "Bruin," was born in 1940 when the Vestal Central School District opened its own high school. Another Vestal tradition, the King Bruin Dance, began in 1953 to honor the school's mascot. At this Sadie Hawkins-style dance, a Vestal High School boy is crowned "King Bruin" every year, accompanied by his "Princess." The theme of this year's King Bruin Dance, scheduled for 8:00 pm to midnight on Saturday, December 10, is "Golden Gala." the crowning will take place at 11:30 pm.
Another KB Dance tradition will also be celebrated this year. Vestal High School's Student Government always donates the proceeds from this dance to a local non-profit organization. This year, King Bruin's beneficiaries will be the Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse (CHOW) and Mom's House. KB ticket costs are $10 for a single ticket and $20 for a "couples" ticket. Tickets are only sold during student lunch periods December 5 to 8. No tickets will be available at the door.
