From Hawkeye Wrestling Club:
Please join us on Saturday, Aug. 17th at the Eastern Iowa Airport to welcome Spencer home! His flight is currently scheduled to land at 10:55 pm. We have gotten word from the airlines that this flight in the past has been 30-45 minutes early with minimal delays. So we recommend arriving at CID by 10:00 pm.
All are welcome and attendance is free. The celebration will be in the main lobby outside of the security checkpoint. Guests should park in the short-term parking lot.
