Homecoming festivities are October 5 and 6.  The WNY Chapter will again be marching in the parade on October 5th and we would love to have you join us!  You need to be able to be at the IM Building by East Halls no later than 5:00pm on October 5th.  The parade starts at 6:00pm and we are usually off and walking by 6:30pm.  We expect to have at least 10 alumni and 20 students marching with us this year.  Of course Karl Henry will follow behind us in his Corvette!  After the parade there is a complimentary party at the Hintz Alumni Center on campus with lot’s of food and adult beverages.  If you want to join us for the parade or have any questions please send an mail to dekellner@gmail.com.  The Penn State Homecoming Parade is the largest one in the country and this year the organizers are planning on the parade being bigger than ever to show our PSU pride in light of what we have all endured.
