of

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 18, 2012) -- Two former Wildcats will make an appearance at Keeneland on Friday, Oct. 19, as part of the seeblue Day festivities. Current Denver Broncos Jacob Tamme and Wesley Woodyard will sign autographs in Keeneland’s North Terrace from 12:30 – 2 p.m. Tamme and Woodyard were letterwinners for the Wildcats from 2004 – 2007 and were both two-time All-SEC performers.

Held each year on the Friday of University of Kentucky’s Homecoming weekend, seeblue Day is organized by the UK Alumni Association and Keeneland. Patrons are encouraged to wear blue to the track, and all faculty, staff, students and UK Alumni Association members with a valid ID will receive free general admission.

In addition to Tamme and Woodyard, a variety of university representatives will make appearances in Keeneland’s North Terrace as part of the day’s activities. Paws and Listen, an all female vocalist group, will perform. The UK Cheerleaders, Dance Team and mascot will also make appearances throughout the day.  Beginning at 11 a.m., the first 200 UK Alumni Association members who present their UK Alumni Association membership card in the North Terrace area of Keeneland will receive a free gift and are eligible for a UK prize pack drawing. Kentucky Sports Radio will also air its Friday morning show live from Keeneland.

A commemorative tumbler showcasing the Keeneland and UK logos will be sold starting Friday with all proceeds benefitting DanceBlue. DanceBlue, the largest student-run philanthropic activity on the University of Kentucky campus, benefits the Pediatric Oncology Unit at UK Children’s Hospital.
