Character counts, Dan Meers, who makes a living wearing a wolf costume and acting silly, told about 100 Iola fifth-graders Wednesday evening.
Meers, better known as Kansas City Chiefs mascot K.C. Wolf, was the featured attraction at USD 257’s annual D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) graduation.
He bounded onto the Bowlus Fine Arts Center stage amid hoops and hollers, dashed into the audience to give kids a hug or high five, before finally getting serious.
