Pompon Parent Tailgate at MSU

Saturday morning we headed to East Lansing for the MSU Pompon parent and alumni tailgate. It was a cloudy and chilly day, but we were looking forward to seeing Melissa and spending some time on campus. Since we had decided not to attend the football game, Megan was able to go with us, and we even took Cooper.

There was a large group of pompon girls and their families and lots of yummy food. Everyone brought something to share (see the Oreo Brownies I took here) and set up the food under the tents provided by the team. It was a great opportunity for the families to get to know each other.

We usually tailgate in a soccer field near the stadium, but this tailgate was in the middle of campus surrounded by the beautiful old buildings.

Before everyone left to go home or go to the football game, we took a group shot of all the family members and pompon girls. There were over 100 people, happy to support this remarkable team. Even a few family dogs came to the party.

Melissa was happy we came and it is always a special day when we are able to spend time on the MSU campus. They won the football game too :-)

    My grand daughter, Sydney, was on the poms squad. They were so full of vim and vigor. I loved watching their routines.
    Looks like you had a fun weekend. It's great when these girls have family support...even the dogs.

    I know what a pompom squad is. And it looked like a great day there. And your pup is cute.
