Homecoming 2015: Best Weekend Ever!

Bountiful activities and beautiful weather combined for a memorable weekend that kicked off Friday, Oct. 2, with the grand reopening of Memorial Hall. Grads and students talked shop at Alumni Leaders in the Classroom panels. The Honors Gala recognized distinguished alumni and celebrated generous donors. Saturday morning’s parade down Beltrami Avenue was led by 96-year-old grand marshal and football alum Harold Shellum ’41. Hundreds tailgated in Diamond Point Park before BSU’s football victory, capped by the team’s winning plunge into Lake Bemidji. Music and football reunions renewed friendships and helped swell a record crowd at the Beaver Block Party and Street Dance. Sunday’s Carl O. Thompson Memorial Concert ended everything on a high note.
