Post-Game Gathering
Friday's Alumni Weekend activities would not be complete without one final stop at the Bull Run Tap House to enjoy The Fabulous Spastics!

Original Spastic band members Jim Wetzel ’58 and George Diefenbach ’58, will be joined by other veteran rock 'n rollers. The band members are now in their mid-sixties and seventies – technically senior citizens – but these upper classmen rock! They, like the songs that they sing, have stood the test of time! We are lucky to have this group representing Lewisburg Alumni. Be prepared to find yourself smiling and laughing with alumni friends as the music brings back wonderful memories! Please join us immediately after the game in the back dining room, reserved for our group. We will serve hors d’oeuvres and provide for a cash bar.
