Truman to Celebrate Homecoming This Weekend

 
The annual Homecoming parade will begin at 9 a.m. in downtown Kirksville, following Franklin Street through campus. Attendees watching south of Normal Ave. are encouraged to line up on the east side of the street.

Tailgating will start at 11 a.m. at the parking lot on the corner of Franklin and Patterson streets. There will be a pep rally at 12 p.m. in the tailgating lot. The Bulldog football team will face McKendree University at 2 p.m. at Stokes Stadium. During halftime the Homecoming honorees will be recognized, and the philanthropy check will be presented.

Throughout the week, students will participate in a number of activities to both show their school spirit and raise money for charity. Proceeds from this year’s fundraising events will go to support the Pantry for Adair County. Last year, Truman students raised money for the Alzheimer’s Association and NEMO Senior Citizens Services in the amounts of $6,082.85 and $18,248.61 respectively for a total of more than $24,000.
