The sideshow will include the World’s Smallest Bulldog and the opportunity to pose for a free photo with his bone-chilling older brother, the Largest Spike in World History. There also will be free goodies and opportunities to meet Drake athletes and coaches.
Coach Amy Stephens and members of the women’s basketball team will be at the tent from noon to 2 p.m. Coach Keno Davis and members of the men’s basketball team will be featured from 2 to 4 p.m. The athletics program will conclude from 4 to 6 p.m. with Drake Relays Director Brian Brown and Head Men’s and Women’s Track and Field Coach Natasha Kaiser Brown.
