Fort Lewis College Homecoming





Next week, October 13-19 is Fort Lewis College homecoming! Considering Max, Don, and Jonathan are FLC alum, it’s a celebratory week in the office.

The week is full of events. There will be a free movie, history of the Americas, mud football, Frisbee golf, cycling events, and more.

Of course, the big event for us is the football game. On Thursday, the 16th, there will be a homecoming tailgate party from 4pm - 6pm at the Art Parking Lot, and 6, FLC will play Colorado School of Mines. The game will be nationally televised on CBS. We have lots of memories from the FLC football games. They are such a fun family event, and living in a small town like Durango means a lot of the community shows up to support the college. What a great way to support the school, and bring a cheering squad. We will be there under the lights to watch the Skyhawks win! 

On Friday 10/17the World Record attempt for the largest simultaneous game of Hopscotch will take place from 4:30pm to 6pm in the FLC Miller Quad. We will hopefully have 500 people playing hopscotch and break the previous world record of 359 people playing. This event is sanctioned by the Guinness Book of World Records. Please bring your friends and family to join us. 

Immediately following hopscotch we will all head to the rooftop patio of the Student Union Building for an alumni gathering. The theme of the alumni gathering will be Hops & Scotch. We will celebrate on the roof top with door prizes, give aways, food, beer, scotch, and the tapping of a special one-of-a-kind beer that has been aged in a scotch barrel especially for FLC alumni. Once darkness sets in we will have a great view of the fireworks shot off from campus. 

On Saturday 10/18 is the annual Skyhawk Sports Spectacular. This is an annual fundraiser for Skyhawk Athletic Department and it is a really fun event! It is a  combination live and silent auction. The event is held at the Lost Dog Bar & Lounge and starts at 6pm; tickets are $25 at the door (or see Max, he has tickets for sale).

Go Skyhawks!
