There was no shortage of extracurricular activities for attendees to enjoy, to include a volleyball and golf tournament, late night jam session near the beach, and an all star talent show.
Several vendors made an appearance as they took their spots in the pro-vendor tailgating expo. Some of the vendors in attendance were Community Mortgage, Realty Title, Home Depot, and Quicken Loans.
