Barbs vs Spartans Castle Challenge Friday at NIU’s Huskie Stadium

This Friday, September 18 the community will be celebrating the 16th Anniversary of the CASTLE CHALLENGE, which coincides with the DeKalb vs. Sycamore High School football game at the Northern Illinois University Stadium. The Challenge was created to increase attendance at athletic events, raise funds and enhance awareness of local Sports Boosters organizations.

Local businesses, organizations, and individuals are “Challenged” to help raise funds that will help support athletic programs grades 6 through 12 with net proceeds distributed equally to both booster organizations. Break out your orange or gold and join in at this family friendly community event!

Tickets are on sale at First National Bank, Kishwaukee YMCA and the schools. The tailgate opens at 4:00pm Friday with Destination Unknown playing at 5:00. Sophomore and Varsity games start at 5:00 and 7:30. You don’t want to miss this event! Go Barbs and Go Spartans!
