Our local paper, which now has gone behind a paywall, has a story about the annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl all-star football game between graduated seniors from Vermont and New Hampshire kicking off at Dartmouth's Memorial Field this August at 5:30 p.m. While Dartmouth will be host to the game for the 50th time in its 60-year history, this will be the first time the game has been played under the lights (although the early evening kickoff probably won't require they be turned on until well into the game).
