NORMAL, Ill. – The eighth annual Redbird Fan Fair will take place August 18 on the Illinois State campus where patrons will have the opportunity to enjoy competitive scrimmages, carnival games and live music courtesy of a WBNQ live remote.
The fair will be held at “The Plaza,” located in between Redbird Arena and Horton Field House from 2-4 p.m. The event, which is free to the public, is held in conjunction with the official kick-off of the 2012 fall athletics season as both the Redbird volleyball and football teams will be holding Red/White scrimmages. The volleyball scrimmage will precede Redbird Fan Fair at 12:30 p.m., in Redbird Arena, and the football scrimmage will follow the festivities at 4 p.m., in Hancock Stadium.
Additional activities include free face painting by The Zoo Lady, inflatable games provided by Fun on the Run and a climbing wall provided by Upper Limits. Papa Johns will also have pizza available for purchase.
Student-athletes and coaches from Illinois State’s 19 varsity sports teams will be on hand at the event, assisting in the various fair games. They will interact with the fans and will be signing autographs on a limited basis.
The first 500 Reggie’s Kids Club members in attendance to check in at the kids club table will receive a free official Reggie’s Kids Club T-shirt. After the 500 member limit is reached, T-shirts will be available at the Illinois State Athletics Ticket Office for $10.
