Back in the late 1900s, we braved the crisp autumn air, donned our kilts, and tapped kegs of Highlander to the tune of ‘Amazing Grace’ on the bagpipes. 30 years later, we're returning to the scene of the crime for a long-overdue reunion of friends and family at our beloved alma mater. This time, the kilts are optional, and Bite the Bag might have to be banned for our own safety, but the shenanigans remain mandatory.
Contrary to the claims of the duplicitous Principal Seymore Skinner, there indeed IS such a thing as SCOTCHTOBERFEST!! Somehow, we pulled it off in 1996, and after three decades, it's time to bring it back to the campus of Central Michigan.
Opening ceremonies will commence Friday afternoon, October 2nd, and continue well into the evening at the preeminent pub on the planet and the birthplace of most of our best (and worst) ideas, The Bird Bar & Grill. Show up whenever is convenient for you, we'll be there!
The festivities will continue Saturday with tailgating at Kelly/Shorts Stadium beginning approximately four hours before gametime (TBD). Encased meats will be grilled, and alcohol will be consumed in various forms, followed by the inevitable dismantling of Akron University on the gridiron by the mighty Chips.
The Official SCOTCHTOBERFEST Base of Operations is a two-bedroom house we rented for the weekend, located just a few blocks from The Bird. If you have any trouble finding a hotel room in the area and need a place to crash, we can make it work.
