A morning drizzle couldn’t dampen the spirits of the Packers Tailgate Tour participants as the group boarded the bus for its departure. This year’s team, which includes Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy, players Brett Hundley, Aaron Ripkowski and Jake Ryan, and Packers alumni Robert Ferguson, Ahman Green and Ryan Longwell, will make stops in Medford (April 4), Ashland (April 5), Houghton, Mich. (April 6), Rhinelander (April 7) and Iron Mountain, Mich. (April 8), with tailgate parties held in each city to support a local nonprofit organization.
More than $2 million has been raised for charity during the tour’s previous 11 years.
