University of Montana Homecoming Parade Forms Available

The Montana Grizzly football team is just getting their 2015 season underway, but we need to talk Homecoming! If you want to be in the annual parade you need to get after it real soon.

Applications are now available for entry into this year’s University of Montana Homecoming Parade, to take place at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, in downtown Missoula.

Last year’s parade featured more than 120 entries. This year’s Homecoming theme, “A Tradition of Champions,” commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Montana Grizzlies’ first NCAA Division I-AA football national championship and celebrates the countless successes of UM students and alumni over the years.

Applications are available online through the UM Alumni Office or by calling 406-243-5211.  Applications also may be picked up in person at the Missoula Chamber of Commerce, 825 E. Front St., or at the Office of Alumni Relations and Alumni Association, Brantly Hall 115, University of Montana.

Applications must be received by Friday, Sept. 4, to be eligible for the $30 early bird fee. Applications received after Sept. 4 will require a $35 registration fee, and the final deadline to submit entries is 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11.

Always a huge event. Plan now if you want to strut your Homecoming stuff! DB
