Top Pop

On Sunday, June 8, 2008 Time Warner Cable hosted its fifth annual Top Pop Picnic at the Sea Dogs game at Hadlock Field.

We had a great day at Hadlock Field in Portland as we honored all 25 Top Pop finalists at the Sea Dogs game. Braving the 90+ degree heat all finalists had a fabulous time as we enjoyed the game and the Top Pop picnic. We find it so rewarding to meet the students who write such amazing things about their fathers (or father-like figure).

Twenty-five Dads were selected by a panel of judges and honored at a celebration at the Portland Sea Dog stadium's picnic area, prior to the start of the game.
