The day started early for alumni volunteers and others arriving at the stadium to help number seats for that evening's show. Later in the day, a few of those also assisted with parking. Light sprinkle showers arrived near the end of the rehearsal (5 pm) and were on and off over the next few hours at the tailgate at Prairie Towne Lanes.
Turn out at the tailgate was a little lighter than in previous years, probably due to the holiday weekend for many having unavoidable family plans. Still, it was a nice turnout and a great opportunity to catch-up with everyone who made it. Robin and the crew did another outstanding job, providing refreshments for everyone attending the tailgate.
