East Winter Tailgate Will Be Warm with Hoops, Food, Prizes and More

The tailgate dinner costs $5 and features a choice of a hot dog, burger or brat along with and chips, a beverage and dessert.

Activities include stacking cups, checkers, face-painting, tug-o'-war and free-throw shooting competitions.

As a special treat, there will be a prize awarded for the best-dressed super-fan.

A silent auction opens at 2 p.m. and bids close after half-time of the varsity game. Among the auction items are a fly fishing package, a Visual Image Photography gift certificate, Pampering Mom basket, hand-crafted jewelry and
4 reserved seats to the 2012 Tosa East graduation.

There will also be a recognition ceremony for the fourth- through eighth-grade Junior Red Raider basketball teams during the varsity half-time.

In addition, the freshman teams will play at 3 p.m. and the junior varsity squads will match up at 4:30.
