Dads Weekend 2007


Join the Dads Association as they celebrate their 85th year in service during the University of Illinois' Dads Weekend activities. The Association will begin the weekend on Friday, Oct. 5 with a reception at 5 pm in the South Lounge of the Illini Union and the Annual Banquet will begin promptly at 5:30 pm in the Illini Rooms of the Illini Union. Our guest speaker this year will be Coach Bruce Weber! The Dads Association will recognize the Library Award winners, the Certificate of Merit recipients and King Dad 2007 will be crowned.

One of the highlights of the Friday evening banquet is the crowning of King Dad.

Saturday morning will begin bright and early with the Dads Association Annual Meeting in the Colonial Room of the Illini Union, at 7 am. Then, the Tent Party is scheduled for two hours prior to kick-off of the Illinois vs Wisconsin football game. In the past, the Marching Illini have stopped by our tent for a surprise performance, belting out some of their old favorites.
