Next Saturday weather at SPI low of 72 with a high of 81. Looks like it’s going to be really nice. People have been reaching out about game tickets. They go on sale tomorrow at
http://events.hometownticketing.com. Since everything is online they are not reserving sections for us. Class of 1996 try to buy your tickets on the northern most side. The 1st section on north side rows 10-20. That way we could all sit together. I will need counts for dinner at Louis Back Yard so they can reserve an area for us. Please respond to this. Los vemos el Thursday at the Parade. The guys with the trucks need to be there by 5:15. Who needed the reminder to wash their truck! S**c and Span!
