Homecoming
By Honey D. Hallock
STILLWATER, Okla. - ‘America’s
Greatest Homecoming Celebration’
is this month in Stillwater. The OSU
Cowboys will play Baylor, Oct. 14.
But, Homecoming is about much
more than OSU
football, and there is
a lot to celebrate in
the week leading up
to the big game.
Homecoming week
will officially kick
off when the
library fountain
goes orange,
October 8,
but students are
already decorating
for Walkaround.
Walkaround is
one of the longest
and most colorful
Cowboy traditions,
where thousands of
people ‘walk around’
to see the sororities
and fraternities
decorate their houses
with huge, stationary
floats celebrating their hopes and
dreams, values for the future and,
of course, football.
Students will spend more than
a month crafting these art
installations before Walkaround
starts at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct.
13. The residence halls are getting
in on the action with something
called Orange Ambiance, and this
year’s Walkaround is sure to be an
immersive sensory experience.
Willie’s Saloon will be running
multiple stages with DJ Travis
Trapp and Suede Panther.
Stonewall Tavern will present
The Admirals at 9:30 p.m. The
Admirals are a pseudo-local,
high-energy rock band
with great original
songs and a flare for
dramatic performance
that will fit right in the
evening’s general, party
atmosphere. Or, you can
wander Downtown to catch
Bruce Benson play
Zannotti’s Wine Bar at
7 p.m.
Saturday before the
game, the Sea of
Orange Parade starts
at 8 a.m. More than
120 entries from
student groups and
the community will…
well… parade down
Main Street from 9th to
Hall of Fame Avenue
to support the Cowboy
Friday night,
the party will spil l out into the rest
of the big town, too, with shows at
some Stillwater’s best venues. The
Joe State Homecoming Tailgate,
Friday night at Eskimo Joe’s, starts
at 5:30 p.m. with a free, all-ages
concert with Cody Canada, Mike
McClure and The Damn Quails.
family.
There’s also the traditional spirit
walk, reunions and tailgating events
all over campus. The big event
will be Sunday, Oct. 14 at Boone
Pickens Stadium when the OSU
Cowboys take on Baylor. Win or
lose, it’s going to be a good time.
