2011 Season Kick-Off Party
As Shemir Wiles from the Citrus County Chronicle stated Gators fans were running wild and loose Saturday August 27th at the Citrus County Fairgrounds when the Citrus County Gator Club hosted our Season Kick-Off party. Tailgating was the theme of the event again this year and the club established an atmosphere that you would experience if you attended a Gator game at UF. Our own Mr. Two Bits, Murphey Balkcom, introduced former Gator great Scot Brantley who entertained the crowd with his stories about his life after Gator football. At the end of the 3rd quarter, the crowd did what all Gators do and sang "We are the Boys from Old Florida".
Although lots of fun was had by Gator Fans, the purpose of this event is to raise funding for scholarships for local high school students from Citrus County attending the UF. The Citrus County Gator Club want to thank all who attended for their generous support. This year we had many wonderful sponsors who provided goods and services for this event. People looking for Gator memorabilia had a wonderful selection of items to choose from on the Silent Auction and raffle tables. Special thanks to the Chronicle and Citrus 95 for their publicity of this event. The food, donated by Bob Padgett, Checkers, Beef O'Bradys, Burger King, Joes Family Restaurant & Stumpknockers, consisted of pulled pork and sloppy joes sandwiches, baked beans, coleslaw and potato chips. A fantastic Gator Cake was made by the Occasional Cake Company . We thank all the volunteers for their support in making this event so successful.
