The Colts Make Their Fourth Make It Personal Tour Stop in Bedford

Bedford – It was a sweet homecoming for Bedford native Erica. She returned to Bedford as a cheerleader with the Indianapolis Colts. Over 2,000 people came to the Make It Personal tour stop in Bedford to welcome home Erica along with fellow Colts cheerleader Danetha and Colts players Matt Giordano and Tyjuan Hagler.

"It is just such an amazing feeling, I am so glad to be able to come back to Bedford" Erica stated of her return home. It is Erica's first season as a Colts cheerleader and this is her first trip home since joining the squad.

One Colts fan said she always knew Erica would come back a star. This sentiment was echoed by the others who knew Erica. Erica said "Everyone has always been so supportive of me; it's just great to know that I have this kind of support."

Erica is excited about the up coming season, especially because of the new Lucas Oil Stadium where she will be cheering. Tyjuan Hagler agreed with her and said that he is anxious to play in the new stadium, but he is waiting for the first game until he plays on the new field.

After fans were able to meet the players and cheerleaders, they headed over to the Bleed Blue Blood Drive hosted by the Indiana Blood Center. Fans had the opportunity to donate blood as well as pick up a blue sno cone, which was perfect for the warm weather.

You can join your fellow Colts fans, and follow the Colts on the next Make It Personal tour stop in Kokomo on Thursday, May 29, from 4:00 – 6:00 PM at Meijer.
