The University of Cincinnati celebrates this week's Bearcat Friday Winner!
The University of Cincinnati Athletic Department developed a way for campus offices and businesses around the country to join in on the fun and show their Bearcat spirit!
This week's Bearcat Friday Winner is Jeff Wyler's Body Shop. The Bearcat mascot took a trip to Jeff Wyler's Body Shop in Batavia on Friday, January 27th. The Bearcat took a tour of the body shop and brand new show room, as he surprised employees and customers with his appearance. There were several UC fans in the crowd and employees were happy to take a break from work to take pictures with the Bearcat.
"We wanted to thank the Bearcat for coming out to visit us! We all had a great time! The employees all enjoyed being able to take a break to visit and get our pictures taken with the Bearcat. We have a lot of UC Bearcat fans here and hopefully we will get to see the Bearcat at a game here soon!" said Shannon Sebastian, Body Shop Office Coordinator.
Jeff Wyler Body Shop in the Eastgate Auto Mall handles repairs from minor paint scratches to major body and collision repair. The Eastgate location is home to the very first Jeff Wyler new and used car dealership which opened in 1973.
