The Cougar Fan Fest is a casual, fun event where parents and children get the chance to interact one on one with some of the BYU athletes. Not only were fans able to meet their favorite athletes, but they were able to try on their gear, play games, go through obstacle courses and jump in bouncy houses. The supporters loved the environment that was created at the Cougar Fan Fest.
Tonight from 6 p.m.-9 p.m. you can find the coaches, athletes and activities in Sandy at the amphitheater park. Admission is free for everyone.
