Janesville Gazette - Janesville, Wisconsin, USA
What do 20,000 pounds of food and 1,000 screaming students
equal? A school visit by Backstreet Boy Nick Carter.
The students at Wilmot High School beat out 10 other area
schools, most of which are significantly larger, to win a
contest sponsored by WXSS 103.7 FM in Milwaukee by donating
more than 10 tons of food for the needy.
The station co-sponsors the annual food drive of America's
Second Harvest of Wisconsin.
"I'm a small-town kind of guy," said Carter, who
was born in Jamestown, N.Y., and grew up in upper New York
state and in a small Florida town.
"I know bigger schools usually get more benefits, so
it's great that this small school won. It's amazing what
they did," he said.
"It might be a small school, but they have big hearts
out here."
The 22-year-old, part of the five-member boy band Backstreet
Boys, released his solo release, "Now or Never" in
November.
He sang eight songs during the 40-minute concert in front of
1,000 high school and grade school students and staff
members.
"This is a small school. Having Nick Carter here is a
really big deal," senior Tiffany Wagner said.
Sophomore Clair Caldwell returned home with a strip of
sweat-stained towel.
"I'll never wash it," Caldwell said of the sweaty
remnant, which was part of a full-sized towel that hung
around Carter's neck before he tossed it into the crowd.
"We ripped it so more people could have a piece,"
Caldwell said. "It's so awesome."

Backstreet Boy Nick Carter (news) performed a 40-minute
concert for students of Wilmot High School, which won a
contest by donating more than 10 tons of food for the needy.
"I'm a small-town kind of guy," said Carter, who
was born in Jamestown, N.Y., and grew up in upstate New York
and in a small Florida town.
The Backstreet Boys (news - web sites) ignited the recent
teen pop craze when they stormed the U.S. charts in 1998
with their self-titled debut, a smash album that was
followed by other multiplatinum discs.
Carter, 22, recently released his debut solo album,
"Now or Never."
He sang eight songs during the concert Wednesday for some
1,000 students and staff.
The contest was sponsored by WXSS 103.7 FM in Milwaukee. The
station co-sponsors the annual food drive of America's
Second Harvest of Wisconsin.
Wilmot High School beat out 10 other area schools.
Sophomore Clair Caldwell returned home with a souvenir — a
strip of a sweat-stained towel that Carter had tossed into
the crowd.
"We ripped it so more people could have a piece,"
Caldwell said.
