More than 50 football fans representing the Citizen Airmen of the Air Force Reserve's 910th Airlift Wing, along with their coworkers, families and friends braved a cold and rainy afternoon to attend a tailgate picnic here, September 21, 2013. Despite less than ideal conditions, those who gathered under a large tent enjoyed a meal of hamburgers, chips and beverages, donated by the Youngstown Air Reserve Base-Community Council. The 910th Force Support Squadron Outdoor Recreation Office supported the picnic by providing the tables, chairs and towable propane grill while the YARS Community Activity Center staff assisted by ordering food, plates, napkins and more for the event. After tailgating festivities, the 910th group made their way to YSU's Stambaugh Stadium and witnessed the YSU Penguins 1-AA team clobber the Duquesne Dukes, 59-17 under clearing skies. The 910th Airlift Wing Public Affairs Office worked in cooperation with YSU Athletics Office to sell more than 150 one dollar game tickets, valued at $17 each, to 910th personnel as well as Youngstown Air Reserve Station Department of Defense Civilian employees for this community relations outreach event and attendees reported having a good time at YARS Game Day at YSU 2013.
