Homecoming Alumni Tailgate Competition
Take part in one of Penn State’s newest, up and coming traditions! Enter your tailgate into the annual Homecoming Alumni Tailgate Competition. The Competition takes place before the Homecoming game, this year against Minnesota on October 17, 2009 at 3:30pm. Student judges, including Penn State cheerleaders, Blue Band members, and Penn State athletes, will be around to all participating tailgates to determine winners in several categories. This year’s categories include Best Food, Best Pride & Spirit, and for the first time, one tailgate will be crowned The Official Best Tailgate at Penn State. Past winners have had everything at their tailgates from pizza ovens to live bands! Come sign in at the Alumni Tent on game day between 10 and 11am, and wow the judges when they stop by your tailgate! For more information, or if you have any questions, contact Lauren Moore the Alumni Relations Director at alumnihomecoming@psu.edu or Caitlin Rush (Tailgate Competition Captain) at cjr5171@psu.edu.
