Muncie is one of the eight "Original Towns" outside of the 32 current NFL markets that will announce a draft pick via live telecast. Muncie's pick will be made during this Draft Day Tailgate event at Canan Commons on April 27th. The event will culminate in the Colts' 6th Round Pick, which will be made by Colts alumni player Bill Brooks, two Colts cheerleaders and a Verizon customer (winner of a Draft Day Prize Package). Round 6 of the draft pick is expected to begin no earlier than 3:10 p.m. and end no later than 5:20 p.m.
This event will feature a DJ, lawn games, football-themed inflatables, a meet-and-greet tent, food trucks and a photo booth. The Delaware County Historical Society will also provide an exhibit on the Muncie "Congerville" Flyers.
Coaches, players and cheerleaders from Ball State, local high schools and John Frank Football League are expected to be in attendance.
