Staff Report-
The Indianapolis Colts will kick off their 2012 Fan Fest and Colts Tailgate Tour schedule at the Braeburn Village AAA Monday from 5 to 7 p.m. The 2012 Summer Tour schedule marks the ninth consecutive year the Indianapolis Colts have hosted a traveling marketing campaign featuring players and cheerleaders. The Summer Tours will continue across Indiana with 16 total tour stops through July 13. Summer Tour elements include autographs from Colts players and cheerleaders. Fans may sign up for one of the Colts Official Fan Clubs, register to win Colts tickets, test their skills in the Play 60 zone, pick up free Colts giveaways, play on the Colts interactive inflatables and experience the Colts In Motion, the team’s traveling museum. Colts In Motion is the club’s 42-foot trailer that is the centerpiece in the Colts regional outreach marketing effort. Colts In Motion is equipped with interactive videos, touch screens, a quarterback challenge football toss, Lucas Oil Stadium features and a behind-the-scenes look at the entire Indianapolis Colts organization. “Colts Fan Fest is a way to show appreciation for our fans and their continued support. We want to give back to Colts followers across the state through free events such as these. Fans are our lifeblood, and events like Fan Fest give them personal access to the team they cheer for each weekend,” said Pete Ward, chief operating officer. The Colts encourage all fans to arrive early. The line for player and cheerleader autographs may be cut off at any time to ensure the tour remains on schedule. Inclement weather or traffic may cause for late arrival or early departure. All summer tour stops will take place rain or shine. Colts players’ names will not be announced prior to their arrival in each city. Fans will be allowed one autograph per person; however, fans may get back in line for additional autographs. All Colts Summer Tour stops times are local. Colts Fan Fests and Tailgate Tour stops are sponsored by the Indiana Corn Marketing Council, Indiana Soybean Alliance and American Family Insurance.
