Dedication ceremony set for September 3
In April, 2008, community leader and life-long resident Bob Turner passed away. In his honor, his best friend Milt Brown donated $150,000 to the Belvidere School District for the construction of a concessions building at Belvidere North High School. With a $10,000 donation from the Turner family and a $150,000 pledge from the Blue Thunder Boosters, a concessions building, ticket office, and restrooms now stand proudly at the entrance of the Milt Brown Stadium. On Friday, September 3, the Blue Thunder will host the Harlem Huskies in their home opener. During halftime of the varsity football game a dedication ceremony will take place honoring the life and contributions of Mr. Turner. The Blue Thunder Boosters will present a check in the amount of $21,000 representing the first installment of their pledge, and Milt will pay tribute to his dear friend Bob.
