Bay Bridge Series:
A's vs. Giants
Successful Event Held on September 26th
|
On Saturday, September 26th, the Chapter's Member Services Committee hosted its annual Bay Bridge Series tailgate BBQ and ballgame in Oakland between the Oakland A's and the San Francisco Giants. Over 230 NECA members, their employees, families and guests gathered for a tasty BBQ catered by Famous Dave's. During the tailgate the hula hoop contest was a big hit. Congratulations to first place winner, 6 year old Tanner Goodman who won a $25 Toys R Us gift card and 2nd place winner, 8 year old Breena Belser, delighted to win a $25 gift card to Target, both of whom are relations to Steve Hanson of SD Electric, in Tracy. Giants fans dominated the stadium with a sea of orange, and in the end, the San Francisco Giants won an exciting game with a score of 14 to 10.
Thank you for joining us as this year and we look forward to seeing more of you as we continue our annual tradition in 2016.
