Chiefs training camp opens this week, and Saint Joseph is getting ready. A Red Carpet Blitz Thursday will help businesses in high-traffic areas near the camp show visitors the best possible customer service. It’s set for 8 am Thursday at the Chamber of Commerce office.

A Red Rally will kick off at 2 Friday afternoon near the entrance of camp on the Missouri Western campus. Attractions will include a band, a balloon artist, and free hot dogs and soft drinks to the first 500 celebrants. Camp gates will open at 2:20 and the first practice will start an hour later.
