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.
