Even if you haven’t attended a Slicers football game yet this season, dig out your Orange and Black for Homecoming Night Oct. 3. The Slicers will host Crown Point at Kiwanis starting at 7 p.m. But plenty of festive fun will precede that at the LaPorte Educational Development Foundation’s 13th annual Homecoming Tailgate Party.
The party will take place that same evening from 5 p.m. to game time at the Handley Elementary School parking lot, just across 10th Street from Kiwanis Field. Enjoy a hamburger, brat or hotdog, chips and a drink for $6 that evening or $5 if you purchase a dinner ticket in advance (carryouts will be available). The party will also feature games and a dunk tank, whose occupants might include some folks you recognize.
Purchase dinner tickets in advance at LaPorte Community School Corporation schools, LaPorte Savings Bank or LaPorte Educational Development Foundation board members.
Proceeds will go toward teacher grants that focus on student learning.
