TV Football Game: Penn State Nittany Lions vs. Illinois Fightin' Ilinni, TBA
Refreshments; Snacks; Food
The Alle-Kiski Society of the Penn State Alumni Association is sponsoring a social activities tent for alumni and friends from noon to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29, at Penn State New Kensington's fourth annual Fall Festival.
Dubbed "Alumni Central," the tent will serve as a meeting place for the local community, as well as Penn State alumni and the campus community. Featured attraction will be the Penn State vs. Illinois football game on a big screen TV. A special section is set aside for alumni and friends to root on the Lions while enjoying a tailgate experience. Refreshments and food will be available.
The time of the game has yet to be determined. After the game, if it's an early kickoff, or prior to the game, if it's a late kickoff, a two-hour campus social will bring together faculty, students and alumni. Friends of Penn State are welcome to join in the alumni activities.
