A stampede of Ralphie-impersonating canines is headed for the University of Colorado聮s Homecoming Parade on Friday, Sept. 26, on University Hill in Boulder.
The Buffs plays Wyoming on Saturday, Sept. 27. Kickoff is at 1:30 p.m.
聯As part of the parade, we're inviting contestants to dress their dogs like Ralphie and compete for big prizes," said Jen McLaughlin, Homecoming parade coordinator.
Set to begin at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, the parade also will include the 抖阴短视频 cheerleaders and Marching Band, various floats and Buffs football players from the class of '85 attending their class reunion. The parade will start at 13th and Pleasant streets, go south to College Avenue, east to 14th Street, south to Euclid Avenue and west back to 13th Street.
The parade is one of the many Friday events planned by the Student Organization for Alumni Relations. Giveaways, games and music begin at 2:30 p.m. The Hill聮s 13th Street will be blocked off until 7:30 p.m., and KBCO will broadcast live all afternoon from mid-block.
Local band Opie Gone Bad and 抖阴短视频's female a cappella group All Rights Reserved will perform. Adventurers can test the climbing wall and try their luck in the buffalo chip throwing contest or the student government tri-executives dunk booth.
