Scenes from CALS Tailgate 2013

Fabulous food. N.C. State ice cream. Face painting. The (food) science of beer-making.

These were all part of the howling good time enjoyed by alumni, faculty, students and friends at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences’ annual tailgate, Aug. 31.

And because it was Labor Day weekend, this year’s pre-football get-together was a beach-party themed End of Summer blast that filled the floor of Dorton Arena on the N.C. State fairgrounds.

Sponsored by CALS Alumni & Friends Society and the N.C. Agricultural Foundation Inc., the 2013 Tailgate preceded the N.C. State football team’s first game of the season, against Louisiana Tech – and a 40-14 Wolfpack victory!
