Packers’ Tailgate Tour to visit fans around Wisconsin and Dubuque April 14-18

WISCONSIN RAPIDS – The Green Bay Packers today announced plans for the ‘Packers Tailgate Tour,’ set for April 14-18, which will travel around Wisconsin to visit with fans and thank them in person for their support.
The event will feature current and alumni Packers players, with current players Edgerrin Cooper, Evan Williams and Colby Wooden and alumni players James Jones, Desmond Bishop and Brandon Jackson scheduled to board the bus.
The Tailgate Tour will stop in Racine on April 14, Janesville on April 15, Dubuque on April 16 and Wisconsin Rapids on April 17 before returning to Green Bay on April 18. A variety of surprise and planned visits will be held in each area.
The fan-favorite Tailgate Tour will appear at nonprofit fundraising events each day and will stop along the route at schools, hospitals, businesses, retirement homes and community centers to present donations, give away items and visit with fans of all ages. To allow for further opportunities for players and alumni to interact with as many fans as possible while raising money for the nonprofits, fans should note that there will once again be no formal autograph sessions.
Hannah Center Inc. will be hosting a fundraising event at Rooted in Red in Wisconsin Rapids on April 17 from 5-9 p.m. Three hundred twenty-five tickets will be sold at $40 per person. To purchase tickets, visit www.hannahcenterinc.org/event/buy-tickets-packers-tailgate-tour.
The tour will take place aboard a customized Green Bay Packers-themed motor coach. In addition to stopping in the designated locations and cities, tour celebrities will make surprise stops along the way as the schedule allows.
