 Third Annual Dark Ages Event

 
Photo by Nushi Carrera

We had a terrific time yesterday at the Dark Ages Tailgate.  We had over many Midshipmen who  came out, ate delicious food, played card/board games, and won prizes.  We gave out more than $1500 worth of prizes to over 22 Midshipmen, and 3 companies walked away with large Wardroom prizes.
 
Many parents clubs and individual families (including USNA alumni, Naval Officers) around North America supported this event financially, sending volunteers, providing gifts, cooking/baking amazing food/desserts, and volunteering 5-8 hours of their time serving at the event.  The weather could not be any better, 45 degree sunny day; OK, we could have enjoyed 80 degree day, but it's February and  we still have couple of feet of snow on our side walks & in our yards.
 
You can see what took place by viewing the photos at the Dropshots site below.
