                                                             HOMECOMING PARADE
On behalf of the University and the Homecoming Committee, I encourage your group to become involved with the parade which will be held on September 27th beginning at 10:30am. The 2008 Homecoming theme is LET THE GAMES BEGIN! Use your imagination and create fun entries! The football game will pit our Tigers against the Bulldogs of Truman State. The parade is primarily coordinated by UAB and the contacts are Megan Stuart, Shannon O'Shea and Devin Konkel (785) 628-5355. Any questions should be directed to one of them. We hope that many groups will enter the parade with either a float or a walking entry. Additional parade entry forms are available in the UAB Office in the Memorial Union Lower Level. Cash prizes will be awarded for winning parade entries. Parade entry deadline is 4:30pm Friday, September 19th. Process your parade entry online at www.fhsu.edu/csi/parade_rules.html

                                                      HOMECOMING KING AND QUEEN
Each FHSU student organization is encouraged to nominate a candidate for Homecoming King and/or Queen. Candidates must be full-time FHSU students and have a minimum GPA of 2.5. Other information is included in this packet. Nomination deadline is Thursday, September 11, 2008. Additional details can be found here on the Application/Information Sheet.
