Blue and gold papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9, streamers and confetti are all featured at The University of Toledo\u2019s annual Homecoming parade. This year\u2019s theme: Rocket Road Trip, All Roads Lead to UT. <\/p>\n
Applications are available to participate in the parade Saturday, Oct. 10, at 10:30 a.m. Student organizations and UT departments are encouraged to create a float, ride or walk in the annual event. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Homecoming parade is our longest standing tradition, so it\u2019s a great way to show Rocket pride and celebrate the history of UT,\u201d said Jason Wanamaker, Blue Key\u2019s Homecoming float representative. <\/p>\n
First-, second- and third-place trophies are awarded to the best floats. Trucks and cars also compete for a first-place trophy in a separate category. And there will be a Homecoming Blue Key Spirit Award for the most spirited representation of the theme. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re hoping people will incorporate U.S. cities, states, landmarks, anything like that,\u201d Wanamaker said. \u201cWe\u2019re hoping everyone gets really unique this year and puts their own flavor into it.\u201d <\/p>\n
Applications and a letter of agreement outlining the requirements for each float, available here<\/a>, are due Friday, Sept. 11. <\/p>\n To turn in required forms or for more information, contact Wanamaker at UToledoHomecomingParade@gmail.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Blue and gold papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9, streamers and confetti are all featured at The University of Toledo\u2019s annual Homecoming parade.
