The inaugural Southern Conference FanFest will go on as scheduled tonight (Aug. 12), according to Â鶹¹û¶³ officials.

Because inclement weather has been forecast for the Birmingham area throughout the day, the event has been moved to Â鶹¹û¶³'s Pete Hanna Center. The event runs from 5:30 – 8 p.m. and is free.
