NORMAL- Due to the threat of inclement weather in the Bloomington-Normal area Saturday afternoon, the 12th annual Redbird Fan Fair will be moved inside to Horton Field House.
The event will still begin at 2:30 p.m., and is free to the public. Serving as the official kickoff of the 2016 fall athletics season, the Redbird Fan Fair is one of three events Saturday including scrimmages from volleyball (1 p.m.) and football (4 p.m.). Free parking will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis in lots surrounding Hancock Stadium, Horton Field House and Redbird Arena.
The first 500 Reggie’s Kids Club members in attendance to check in at the table will receive a free official Reggie’s Kids Club T-shirt. Reggie’s Kids Club is free for children ages 12 and under, and each member receives Reggie’s monthly eNewsletter and mobile updates about all the Reggie’s Kids Club events, a birthday card from Reggie and give-a-ways and invitations to exclusive Reggie’s Kids Club events.
Children who have been signed up in the past do not need to “renew” their membership. Once a child is signed up, their membership stays active until they turn 13 years old. For more information on Reggie’s Kids Club, visit www.ReggiesKidsClub.com.
Student-athletes and coaches from Illinois State’s 19 varsity sports teams will be on hand at the Fan Fair, assisting in the various games. They will interact with the fans and will be signing autographs on a limited basis. Additional activities include inflatable games provided by Fun on the Run and a climbing wall provided by Upper Limits.
