COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech's all-new Purple Pride
Caravan continues to roll this week with a visit to Smith County,
stopping at the Carthage Wal-Mart Thursday at 5 p.m.
It's the third of nine stops planned in communities around the
region in anticipation of the upcoming sports season, and fans are
invited to attend. Every Caravan is free.
Fans who visit the Purple Pride Caravans will have the opportunity
to meet and talk with Tennessee Tech head coaches, enjoy hot dogs
and Pepsi soft drinks, and sign up for a grand prize drawing.
Each event will feature a tailgating atmosphere with coaches,
cheerleaders and Tech mascot Awesome Eagle, and one lucky fan who
registers during the Caravans will win a trip for two with the
Golden Eagles to their Sept. 15 game at the University of
Oregon.
Sponsored by Magic 98.5, Pepsi, Wal-Mart and TTUsports.com, each
Purple Pride Caravan event will last 98 minutes, beginning at 5
p.m. and running until 6:38 p.m.
As a special feature, Magic 98.5 (the home of Golden Eagle
football broadcasts) will be registering people at each of the
stops. One grand prize winner will receive a TTU/Oregon Flyaway
Trip for two, including air travel, hotel accommodations, tickets
to the game and meals.
No winners will be selected below the age of 18. Winner may not be
a high school student-athlete or immediate family member of an
athlete without jeopardizing collegiate eligibility at an NCAA
institution. Complete rules for the contest can be found at the
link below and also are posted on the Magic985.com website.
Following its stop in Carthage, the Purple Pride Caravan will also
visit Crossville, Livingston, McMinnville, Sparta and Cookeville
before wrapping up at the Algood Wal-Mart on Aug. 28, just two days
before the Golden Eagle season opener in Tucker Stadium on Aug.
30.
