Hawk Zone, October 6

Hawk Zone Members- it's Homecoming!!

Can you believe it's already Homecoming? It just means Fall Break is close! Here are some things to know for this weekend.

Homecoming parade will start at 9am. Come check out all the great floats on Jayhawk Blvd.!

After the parade, be sure to come to the Hawk Zone tailgate. We'll be outside this week, on the terrace of the first floor of the Kansas Union. This will start at 9:30am and we'll have your spirit item of the game

The game is at 11:30am. Are you ready for a night game? I sure am. Be sure to be at the tailgate by 10:15 so we can head over for the game!

CONGRATULATIONS to Alex Minisini for being the Hawk Zone member of the game last week! He'll receive a pretty sweet gift from the bookstore to make his game day experience even more awesome.

BIG NEWS: Want to go to the K-State game? YEAH! Do you want to pay $75 for it? Heck no you don't. Hawk Zone members can purchase your K-State ticket for only $40!! That's a HUGE savings people! You can purchase tickets at the SUA office in the Kansas Union on the 4th floor. You can only buy one ticket, and you must show your own Hawk Zone member card. Don't have it? You can pick it up in the office as well. TICKETS WILL GO ON SALE THE 21st OF OCTOBER.

Have a great rest of Homecoming week!
