Purple Pride Caravan moves south for McMinnville visit Thursday
With just three weeks left before the football season opener, Tennessee Tech Athletics made an appearance at the McMinnville Wal-Mart to meet and greet fans.
MCMINNVILLE, Tenn. – The Purple Pride Caravan made its way
south to Wal-Mart in McMinnville for its second stop of the week
Thursday afternoon. Groups of fans gathered to take part in free
food, chances at prizes, and the opportunity to talk Tech football
with Golden Eagle mascot, Awesome Eagle, and TTU Director of
Athletics, Mark Wilson.
After many followers signed up for the free raffle put on by Magic 98.5 FM, three lucky winners were awarded with t-shirts and game jerseys. One other person qualified for a drawing to win a trip for two to the Tech-Oregon football game in the Golden Eagle Flyaway, sponsored by Magic 98.5.
The Purple Pride Caravan will visit Sparta and Cookeville before wrapping up at the Algood Wal-Mart on Aug. 28, just two days before the Golden Eagle football team's season opener in Tucker Stadium on Aug. 30.
