Missouri Western State University will celebrate Homecoming Week with a Halloween theme.
Missouri Western’s Homecoming Week 2017 is Oct. 22-28 and culminates with the Griffon football game against Washburn at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28 on Craig Field at Spratt Memorial Stadium.
The theme this year is a nod to the Halloween season with “The Legend of Griffon Hollow.”
Homecoming this year features some new events, and some changes to old favorites, including a new route for the annual Homecoming Parade at 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 28. All parade entries, including the bands, dignitaries and student organization floats, will step off from 22nd and Frederick, traveling down Frederick to Francis, and on Francis to 4th Street.
The Homecoming Committee invites the community to help save a life by participating in the Griffula Blood Drive Challenge vs. Northwest Missouri State University on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 24-26. The Community Blood Center will be collecting blood from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day in the Hoff Conference Rooms, Blum Student Union rooms 218-219.
