College Colors Day and Funds for Food

The Villages is once again participating in the College Colors Day event on Friday, August 29th at Lake Sumter Landing Square.

The Iowa Club President along with his helpers will be setting up tents in the Lake Sumter Landing Square - hoping to find a shady location.

Wear your favorite Iowa based University or College apparel, bring your own chairs, beverages, and snacks and join us as we celebrate our favorite college team while tailgating with other Club Members. 

You can enjoy festivities from 2:00 to 8:00 PM but ask that you plan to be present at 6:00 PM for College Colors parade.  Scooter the DJ will be the nightly entertainment starting at 5:00 PM.

The "official" College Colors Day Funds For Food starts Monday, August 17th and runs through August 28th.  

IF you decide to make a contribution, the pick list includes Iowa State University, University of Iowa, and University of Northern Iowa. Or you can fill in another Iowa College or University of your choice.
