LAKELAND,
FL (October 14, 2005) - As
the University of South Florida Bulls prepare to face the West Virginia
Mountaineers Saturday (Oct. 22) in Raymond James Stadium, USF Lakeland
will host a week-long series of Homecoming events.
The week will be highlighted by a free Homecoming Carnival on Thursday
from 4 to 8 p.m. The free, Student Government-sponsored carnival
is an outdoor, alcohol-free festival of food, music and family-oriented
activities on the school's front lawn.
Fans can climb a rock wall, have a jousting battle, go through an
obstacle course challenge and take pictures with both USF's mascot
Rocky and cheerleaders from the USF Spirit Squad. Hot dogs, cotton
candy, popcorn and soft drinks will be provided by JJ's Café of
Lakeland during the carnival.
Those who attend the carnival will also meet the students who have
been chosen to represent the USF Lakeland campus as Lord and Lady
of Homecoming. The Student Government Association received applications
for the homecoming court from interested students and will announce
the names of the winners on Thursday.
In honor of USF's Homecoming, the Student Government Association
has planned themed events for each of the other days leading up
