Montini's Maniacs Ignite Bronco Spirit!
Barb Dawson • September 2, 2024
Let the season begin!
Montini's Maniacs, relished the first kick-off of the 2024 Football season on Friday, August 30th. The group's sole mission is to energize Bronco fans and promote team spirit during Friday Night Lights. This week's theme, 'neon construction' resulted in a colorful crowd of Bronco fans who congregated by the Montini 'rock' to have some snacks, apply their 'war paint' and cheer on the team as they took the field. The fans were fueled by delicious cheese quesadillas, provided by El Famous Burrito in Lombard.
