This year's game is set for kick-off at 7:30pm on Friday, August 26th with the Lemonade Festival the following day (Saturday, August 27th). 

This year's Beaver Graham Week will feature a 5k Race, Shriner's Carnival, Golf Tournament, Pep Rally, Parade, Tailgating opportunities, and "Legends of the Rivalry" film and discussion. This page is dedicated to sharing information on things to do in our city during this week.
