WAUNAKEE (WKOW) -- Melissa Hathaway wasn't going to miss out on celebrating her grandfather's 87th birthday, even with the current coronavirus pandemic.

So, she organized a drive-by birthday for Jack Mansfield, a former Badger track star and football player.

She invited friends and neighbors to drive past her house at a safe distance, honk and sing happy birthday.

"Our Waunakee community came together today, and gave my 87-year-old grandpa, the BEST birthday!" she wrote.

"Our “Drive by birthday party” was a HUGE success, and it’s all thanks to the amazing friends and family who showed up!! THANK YOU TO ALL WHO TOOK THE TIME TO MAKE MY GRANDPA’S BIRTHDAY SPECIAL!"
