Tailgate at the McDevitt/Palymra football game (the Thin Blue Line game honoring the police and first responders). 

Plans are set, weather will cooperate (bring a jacket), 75 year olds will descend upon Harrisburg, OH MY! The game should be awesome.  McDevitt is a powerhouse this year. 

If you’re interested, we will meet for a light dinner around 5 at O’Reilly’s Tap Room and Kitchen, 800 E Park Dr, Harrisburg.  If not, we will be in the second section of the bleachers. Let me know (717-571-1747) if you are coming so we can look out for you.  Bring a jacket; it’s going down to the 50s.
