Caravan visits Jamestown Walmart at 5
p.m.
Register to win a trip for two to TTU-Wisconsin game
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The first Purple Pride Caravan stop of
2013 is Tuesday afternoon in Jamestown. Tennessee Tech's all-new
Purple Pride Caravan will be back on the road and rolling in July
and August, with the first stop planned at the Jamestown Wamart on
Tuesday afternoon.
Ten stops are 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. 7 game at the University of
Wisconsin.
Sponsored by 98.5 Kiss FM, Pepsi, Walmart 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, 98.5 Kiss FM (the home of Golden Eagle
football broadcasts) will be registering people at each of the
stops. One grand prize winner will receive a TTU/Wisconsin 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 KissFM985.com website.
Following its stop in Jamestown, the Purple Pride Caravan will
also visit Smithville, Cookeville, Carthage, Sparta, Livingston,
McMinnville, and Crossville before wrapping up at the Algood
Walmart on Aug. 27, just two days before the Golden Eagle season
opener in Tucker Stadium on Aug. 29.
