How’s it going, Friend?

Last week we had a particularly awesome lineup of shows, & I’ve gotta say…. y’all really brought it with the halloween costumes! If you want to relive the moment, or see if your costume made the cut, check out the photo albums for Hallowink, Wizard of Woz, WAVES, & The Spirit of DIY.

After their second win in a row, the Eagles are certainly deserving of a bi-week, but that means there will be no Tailgate party this week. We’ll be back at 2:30PM on Sunday, November 17th for the EAGLES VS PATRIOTS & we hope to see you in head-to-toe eagle gear.
