The old "marathon" draft day format made for some excellent draft party weekends.  I attended one, in the mid-'90s, that was well done.  It was a nice spring day, they had TVs on the front and back porches, as well as one under a canopy out in the yard. (a tougher undertaking before flat panels were a thing), sound over the stereo system, volleyball court, horseshoe pits, they cooked a pig, had a few kegs on ice.

Too bad most of the guys were all sunburned, drunk and passed out, by the time the women showed up, later in the afternoon..
