Burr gives tours for Demon Deacons


Fans coming up to the nation's capital this weekend for the Wake Forest University football game have a prominent alumnus helping with arrangements.

U.S. Sen. Richard Burr, who played defensive back for Wake Forest in the 1970s, is arranging tours of the U.S. Capitol for fans, Barb Barrett reports.

So far, more than 200 people have signed up for tours on Thursday and Friday.

The Demon Deacons play Navy on Saturday in the EagleBank Bowl. For information on Wake Forest’s Capitol tours, go here.
