It’s that time again! Mission Tailgate is coming up on Saturday, April 12 from 10:00am until noon in the Knox Observatory parking lot — rain or shine! This is a convenient, drive-thru opportunity to drop off donations requested by our various mission partners. All donated goods further the mission of each agency.
