Third Thursday event tonight
With the start of football season right around the corner, tonight’s movie selection for the Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce’s Waco Third Thursday makes sense — it’s the inspirational 1993 movie “Rudy,” about Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger’s quest to play football at Notre Dame.
Activities begin at 6:30 p.m. with inflatable games from Baylor’s Touchdown Alley. Baylor spirit squads and mascots will hand out schedule cards for the football season and child ID kits will be given to the first 1,000 kids in attendance.
Popcorn and food from vendors will be available about 7:30 with the preshow pep rally right behind, including the Waco High cheerleaders, barbershop quartet Heritage Square, a spirit competition with Star 92.9’s Dustin and Beth, and season predictions by ESPN 1660’s Paul Catalina.
Mayor Virginia DuPuy will proclaim today “Reicher Football Day” in honor of the Cougars’ 2007 state championship.
The movie will start around 8:30 (right after sunset) on a portable 20-by-40-foot inflatable screen.
And if that’s not enough football for you, the chamber right now is hosting the annual Football Kickoff Luncheon at the Waco Convention Center.
