Roost #4 Sports Trivia Challenge

Post by: Scott Habicht

Last Saturday was another fun day for Ravens Roost #4 with many members coming out to Jilly’s for a sports trivia challenge. Â A good time was had by all while raising money for The Special Olympics.

There were quite a few roost members present for the trivia.

Anna was keeping score while Frosty read the questions.

Afterwards a few of us hung around to socialize.

Ravens Roost #4 goes to the Ravens Super Bowl Victory Parade…And is in the Newspaper, Again

Post by: Scott Habicht

The Baltimore Sun loves Ravens Roost #4, and the day of the Ravens Super BowlÂ VictoryÂ parade was no different.

The air was freezing and the streets were packed, but spirits were high at theÂ Baltimore RavensÂ Victory Parade Tuesday in Baltimore, and fans from Howard County are calling it the experience of a lifetime.

“It was unbelievable, to see the fans of Baltimore come out and show their support like that,” said Mitch Hooper, of Columbia, and a member of Ravens Roost #4 inÂ Ellicott City. “It was a moving experience. It’s hard to explain.”

Theresa Griffin, a member of Ravens Roost #4, said seeing so many young people at the rally and parade was the best part of the festivities.

“I’m going to be 50, and to watch the younger generation experience this, to know what we have carried, that was my favorite part,” she said. “Now the younger generation can carry this team on.”

Hooper went to the celebration when the Ravens won the Super Bowl in 2001, and while “that was fun,” this year was truly “once in a lifetime,” he said.

As for my day at the event, check out the photo gallery.

As Teresa and Bill shared, the Ravens won the Super Bowl. That means it is parade time in Baltimore. — As Theresa and Bill shared, the Ravens won the Super Bowl. That means it is parade time in Baltimore.

I arrived early for the parade and made sure to document my parking meter payment in case there were issues.

It took about 20 minutes to walk from the far side of Federal Hill to the stadium.

Not too many people were arriving at that time.

There was a great jovial spirit on the field amongst fans.

John Harbaugh stopped by before the start of the parade and gave a quick speech.

Find Mitch, Cindy, Denis, and Kim. The four of them were up in the club level for the event.

Zeke and Chuck were also keeping an eye on things from the other side of the stadium.

When the buses pulled into town it was shown on the big screen.

After a brief speech at City Hall the Ravens started the parade to the stadium.

Before the parade reached the stadium, the stadium had reached capacity.

There wasn't an empty seat in the house, and the field was very full, too. — There wasn’t an empty seat in the house, and the field was very full, too.

I ran into Hall of Fans Inaugural Class member, Captain Dee-Fense on the field and said hello.

A group of the roost members met for a few drinks after the event in celebration.

That's all for now, and it seems the parking meter was working correctly. — That’s all for now, and it seems the parking meter was working correctly.

Ravens Super Bowl Rally in Baltimore

Candace and Jack Skurnik went to the Ravens Super Bowl Rally in Baltimore and wanted to share the pictures they took from the event.

Polar Bear Plunge 2013

The day started early for us, we left for Sandy Point State Park at 6am.

We were some of the first to arrive in the pre-dawn hours.

Of course, that didn’t stop us from getting to the drinking just after 7am.

The event is an alcohol-free event, unless you are with a Ravens Roost.

The beach was fresh with snow, but within hours, it would be a sea of bathing suit clad people.

The super plungers (plunging once an hour for 24 hours) madeÂ theirÂ 23rd hourly dip. Â You need to raise $10,000 to be a super plunger.

The blue wrist band indicates we were part of the group doing the plunge.

Captain Dee-Fense stopped by and said hello.

The Roost #4 plungers pose with Hall of Fans Inaugural Class member, Captain Dee-Fense.

It was really cold, and the ladies mostly stayed inside the RV.

The press was there getting a picture of all the various Roost members and this is the picture from the backside.

By later in the morning, the lot was filling up nicely. Many roosts charted buses for the event.

The time had come for us to don our bathing suits and had to the beach.

Remember, it is not safe to plunge if you have consumed alcohol.

The beach had become overrun with people.

Nothing like an “O” to let you know you are in the Baltimore area.

A last minute check before heading into the water.

Go time!!! Â We all made a way into the water for the ice cold plunge!!!!

At the time of this post the Roost had raised $785. Â Check this page for more information or to make a donation:
