Crossville, Tenn. -- On the eve of a very busy weekend in the
area, Tennessee Tech Athletics visited the Crossville Wal-Mart to
mingle with members of the community. Awesome Eagle, members of the
Tech cheer and dance teams, Tech athletics staff members and
representatives from Cookeville Communications and Pepsi, were on
hand to give away prizes, food and Pepsi products.
Three lucky fans won drawings for prizes and one person qualified for the drawing to win a trip for two to the Tech-Oregon football game in the Golden Eagle Flyaway, sponsored by Magic 98.5 FM.
Following its stop in Crossville, the Purple Pride Caravan will also visit 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.
