FLORENCE –  Mayor Mickey Haddock, in what is becoming a new feature of his administration, sent an email to Florence residents about the upcoming NCAA Division II championship.

Here is a copy of that letter:

“TO THE CITIZENS OF FLORENCE:

 December 15, 2012 marks the 27th year the City has hosted the NCAA Division II National Football Championship Game.  This is an exciting event for the entire Shoals area and brings hundreds of people into North Alabama.

 The citizens should be very proud of themselves for presenting a championship atmosphere for the student athletes and their families.  The warm Southern hospitality that we display to our guests is talked about throughout the country.  

 The game this year will be televised with a Noon Kickoff on ESPN II.  It will showcase our area to millions of people so let’s fill the stands.  I would like to encourage each and every one of you to purchase tickets and attend the game if possible.  I also want to urge you to ask your friends and neighbors to come.  And while we’re at it, let’s make this a community event and have one huge tailgate party prior to the game!  To purchase tickets, call the Shoals Chamber of Commerce at 256-764-4661 or go to www.d2championship.com.  

 Mark your calendars, buy your tickets, and join us for a great game!”
