Central College will introduce Grandparent Day on Saturday, October 19th. Grandparents are invited to bring their grandchild or grandchildren to the Central football game at 1 pm on the 19th at Ron and Joyce Schipper Stadium when the team plays Luther College. All children 12 and under attending the game will receive free admission, with the purchase of an adult ticket, and the Grandparent Special: a bag of popcorn and M&M’s.

The Grandparent Special honors the late Dan Marburger, a 1989 Central graduate, who enjoyed this game-day tradition with his grandkids. Marburger was the Perry High School principal, who died from the injuries he sustained during the January 4th Perry school shooting..
