Please check out the “Charger football: Priceless “ banner in Muddy waters stadium this weekend. A great big thank you to Peggy Brown (Mom #93) for making this 40 foot long Banner.
Last weeks tailgate in Ferris was Huge, Lot’s of Fan’s and Lot’s of great food. The Coney dogs were a hit and so were the Schikabobs made and donated by #88 parents. Thanks Tim and Annette Frosch. (They were great!)
Dave and Troy had those grills going for along while. Connie and I apologize for the area Ferris put us in the parking lot. They like to put all the tailgaters together and with Ferris Kids. The music was a little loud from the Ferris boys and I told Troy I new we should have brought our living room sofa to sit on in the back of our truck. But anyway, we all got along fine and the Police officers said we were the best tailgaters they have ever had. The police officers even tasted some of our food.
Connie Report: As many of you know, Connie Stapf did not make it to the game last Sat. Her surgery on her shoulder went well and she will be here this weekend. Connie is doing much better. We wish her well.
We look forward to seeing everyone.
Travel Safe and call with any Questions.
