HARRINGTON, Del. -- University of Delaware Athletics will make its annual trek south to the Delaware State Fair next Thursday, July 27, as the Blue Hens experience the sights, tastes, and thrills of one of the state's biggest and most popular events.
UD Director of Athletics and Recreation Services Chrissi Rawak and nearly 25 Blue Hens student-athletes will hit the fairgrounds in late afternoon to mingle with fans and fair goers, sample the wide variety of food choices, enjoy the rides and games on the midway, and 
check out the numerous animal exhibits.
The Blue Hens will end the day as guest in one of the fair's signature events, the Delaware State Fair Nightly Parade that winds through the fairgrounds beginning at 7 p.m.
Delaware Athletics will also have a strong presence at the fair's new Social Spot hub located at the Exhibit Hall. From 5-7 p.m., UD student-athletes and staff will interact with fans and provide ticket information to Blue Hens athletics events, giveaways, and chances to spin the prize wheel. A photo booth will also be on site to give fans the opportunity to have shots taken with their favorite UD student-athletes and share with their friends on social media.
WMDT TV 47 in Salisbury, Md. will be on hand throughout the week, covering the event and providing updates. Delaware AD Chrissi Rawak will be a guest during live coverage of the event during the 5:30-6 p.m. segment at the Social Spot.
