Celebrate Pridefest with the Crusaders
By adminJune 25th, 2011EventsComments OffHappy Pride Weekend, Crusaders Fans!
A long overdue post, but worth it, we promise. 
The Crusaders will have lots of events this weekend to celebrate Pridefest. Check below for the schedule:
Saturday, June 25th:
1-3 pm: Rugby 101 – Join the Crusaders for a quick demonstration of basic Rugby moves. We’ll be in Tower Grove Park in the new Sports Complex, right behind the Pride drink booth. Never played rugby? This is your perfect chance to learn the basics.
4-5 pm: We’ll have a few gentlemen at the Team St. Louis info booth, so stop by and say “Hi” to your ruggers in red, and sign up to play or be an athletic supporter. We’ll also be manning the Pride drinks booth from 5-close, so there’s plenty of chances to show your support.
Sunday, June 25th:
12 pm: Pride Parade! The Crusaders will be walking in the parade with our Team Saint Louis compadres, so be on the lookout, and be loud and proud, and let the gents know you appreciate how hard St. Louis Rucks!
3-5 pm: We’ll have a few ruggers in red manning the Pride drink booth – come by and have a drink with the boys.
5-6 pm: Rugby 101 returns! Come learn some basic rugby moves with the Crusaders. You’ll find out that rucks, mauls, and scrums aren’t as dirty as they sound, but they sure are a lot of fun!
At all these events, you’ll have the opportunity to sign up to play, or be a supporter. We’ve got a great season coming up this fall, so you’ll want to be part of the action, either as a player, or as a fan!
The Crusaders hope you have a fun and safe Pridefest weekend. We’ll see you at the park, and hopefully, on the pitch this fall!
