While the football team does not officially open its season until Thursday night at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, that does not mean the stadium will be without activity.

The annual Wares Fair and Fire Up Fest will begin at 6 p.m. tonight in Kelly/Shorts Stadium for students to meet the local business community tonight and to celebrate the upcoming football season.

Wares Fair will run until 7 p.m.

Wares Fair and Fire Up Fest is sponsored by Central Michigan Life, the athletics department, the Student Alumni Association, University Recreration and the office of Student Life.
