SUBJECT: 2021 KC AREA ARMY NAVY WATCH PARTY–FOX & HOUND SENT
Navy Only (without West Point) Watch Party for the Army Navy Football Game on December 11 at Fox & Hound in Overland Park
We have reserved Fox and Hound for the Army Navy Football Game Watch Party on December 11, 2021. The Fox and Hound is in Overland Park at 10428 Indian Creek Shopping Center, Overland Park, KS 66212. It is just off Metcalf Avenue between 105th and 103rd Streets-behind Krispie Kreme Doughnuts. The football game kickoff will be at 2:00 PM local Central time, but the television pregame show is earlier. So plan on arriving early just after noon and each lunch there. There will be no cover charge to get in and we have the main bar and dining area reserved for us along with an auxiliary room. Individual tickets/bills for food and drinks.
We were lucky to get the Fox & Hound reserved because KU MU basketball game is in Lawrence on December 11 and will be on national television at the same time. We promised Fox & Hound we would rally to get 50 people or more to attend. We can take overflow in the auxiliary rooms there too. Fox & Hound promised to have adequate wait staff for food and drinks.
This will be a Navy only watch party as West Point has decided to have theirs at Harpo’s Bar & Restaurant in Westport. So because of the limited wait staffs at bars and because the KU MU basketball game is on television at the very same time, we decided to go separate this year.
Please RSVP me bculler@sbcglobal.net or text 913 488-6319 anytime so we can get an accurate headcount to the Fox & Hound. I am hoping we can get a turnout of 50-60 people. It will be a family friendly event. I also will be asking the local Naval Academy Parents Club and also ask Navy League to join us too.
We will have for sale NCAA Collegiate branded Go Navy Beat Army knitted scarfs for $25 each (below retail price of $29.95). Please bring cash if you want one. If we run out we will take your order and can get additional ones before Christmas.
If you want to pay your 2022 annual Greater Kansas City Metro USNA Chapter dues of $25 please bring a personal check and give to Eric Carlson ’74 Treasurer. We still do not have a way to pay on-line yet but are working on it.
Regards, Beat Army!
Bob Culler ’74
President, Greater Kansas City Metro Chapter
