Four lucky students won tickets to Clayton’s Beach in South Padre Island to see various artists like 21 savage, Wiz Khalifa, Steve Aoki and Trippie Redd during spring break.
The contest was hosted by Etta Enow and Troy Sanchez who host their radio show, The Tea, every Monday and Friday at 4 p.m. The show consists of Sanchez and Enow discussing celebrity gossip, pop culture, political incidents and prominent news.
To enter the contest the contenders had to be following The Tea on twitter, retweeted and liked the post that announced the contest and attended the live drawing event located at the pavilion on Friday, Feb. 15. The event was hopefully the beginning of an ongoing theme and presence of The Tea radio show members.
“I notice a lot lately that everyone just kind of keeps to themselves, with the help of our giveaways and the cool, fun events hosted by CAB I’m sure more students would be more eager to participate and be active on campus,” Enow said.
‘The Tea’ provided the tickets and Dr. Terisa Riley, Senior Vice President for student affairs and university administration was present at the live drawing alongside Enow and Sanchez. An abundance of students commented about their admiration and appreciation towards Riley’s support on twitter. The live drawing was filmed and students along with Riley can be seen dancing, laughing and having a great time together.
The Tea posted about the event for a couple of weeks, reminding their followers to enter into the contest and be present in case their names were called. Each winner was thrilled as Riley called their names over the speaker system and thanked both The Tea and Riley for their prizes.
“It felt great to host this event and see all the winners smiles once they won. We had one girl jump up and down screaming when she won her tickets and it felt good knowing we made that happen,” Sanchez said.
