Originally
scheduled for July 31 at Providence Park Key Bank Club, their air conditioning

tickets, and refunds are available if requested.
The event will include not only
Timber Joey, but also mascots from other professional and collegiate teams from
around the region. Among those invited are Barley from the Hillsboro Hops,
Blaze from the Portland Trail Blazers, the Oregon Duck and Benny Beaver, the
Portland Pilot and PSU Viking….and many more. A piper and drummer will add to
the color and fun of the tailgate reception. Guests are encouraged to dress
casual and sport their favorite team colors while enjoying traditional tailgate
fare and refreshments.
The Tailgate Party Reception begins
at 2 PM, with the Awards Ceremony following at 4:00 PM MC’d by Dwight Jaynes.
Tickets are $65 per person. Guests may enter through gate C, on the SW 18th
Avenue side of the stadium. (Handicap drop off parking at Gate A). Please call
