FOOTBALL GAME
Manchester College football coach Shannon Griffith has set the
Spartans' home opener against Earlham College as this year's annual
Community Day game. In its eighth year, Community Day was
established to help build relations with the North Manchester
community and encourage residents to get involved and support Spartan
athletics.
Free ice cream treats, courtesy of the North Manchester Dairy Queen,
will be available while supplies last, and prizes will be given away every
time the Spartans score. The grand prize this year will be an
8GB iTouch. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for senior
citizens, with college students and employees admitted free with an
ID.
