Homecoming Fun!

SFA is full of traditions, especially when it comes to Homecoming Week. There’s a bonfire (in a different sense this year thanks to the burn ban) Friday night, a parade in downtown Nacogdoches Saturday morning, and of course the Homecoming football game, where the Lumberjacks will face off against the McNeese Cowboys at 2pm.

But did you know that Campus Recreation has its own traditions for Homecoming as well?

WE TIE-DYE T-SHIRTS!!!

Every year at Homecoming, the Rec Center gives white t-shirts with a cool Homecoming-themed graphic to patrons and lets them tie-dye their own shirt to wear at the football game. In honor of this year’s Homecoming Week theme, "There’s No Place Like Home", the shirt design features a flying monkey right out of Oz holding the traditional SFA Lumberjack axe.

This year the fun will take place at the Student Rec Center courtyard Wednesday, October 26th, starting at 3pm. The event will last until 5pm, but it’s first come first serve, so be sure to get here early!

Another great event that Campus Recreation hosts for Homecoming Week is the Homecoming 5K Fun Run/Walk. This event will take place Saturday, October 29th starting at 7:30 am with registration, and runners taking off at 8am in the parking lot behind the Schlief Tennis Complex. Walkers will depart at 8:10am. The cost is $10 for SFA students, $25 for faculty, staff and alumni, and $30 for the Nacogdoches community. For those who registered before October 15, event t-shirts are guaranteed, but the remaining shirts will be first come, first serve for participants the day of the event. All proceeds will be going to the Dr. Raymond Lee Worsham Scholarship fund for Campus Recreation.

So come out and enjoy the fun this upcoming Homecoming Week!!!!
