LIBERTY — The 8th annual Riley’s Wish Winter Games & Derby will be on Saturday, February 15, 2025 and is being hosted this year by Lake St. George Brewing Company. Riley Boulay was a Waldo County boy and Mount View High School student who also attended Waldo County Technical Center (WCTC) until his passing in December, 2017. This event is near and dear to the WCTC community, according to a news release, not only because Riley was a student there, but also because his mother, Jackie Boulay, is WCTC’s Culinary Arts instructor.  

WCTC is donating several items to be raffled, including an eight person octagon picnic table, worth $500, built by the Carpentry program and four cheesecakes, made by the Culinary program. These will be raffled off at 11 a.m., 12 p.m., 1 p.m., and 2 p.m. The design for this year's shirt, which will be available to purchase at the Derby, was designed by one of WCTC's Graphic Design students.

Festivities will be held this year at Lake St. George Brewing Company, at 4 Marshall Shore Road, in Liberty. 

Tickets can be purchased the day of the event, at the brewery, at Circle K in Liberty, or by contacting Jackie Boulay at jboulay5@yahoo.com.

Information can also be found on the Riley’s Wish Facebook page. 

All proceeds from this event will go to Riley H. Boulay Memorial Scholarship Fund, which is awarded each year to a WCTC graduate from each of Tech Center’s sending schools.
