BW Bold & Gold Festival combines Homecoming and Community Day
It
was
an
epic
gathering
of
the
BW
community
-
students,
alumni,
parents,
local
neighbors,
friends,
and
current
and
retired
faculty
and
staff
-
all
coming
together
on
Saturday,
September
15,
as
BW
celebrated
a
combined
Homecoming
and
Community
Day,
newly
dubbed
as
the
Bold
&
Gold
Festival.
The day also marked the grand opening celebration of the University Market and Front Street Residence Hall development. The Homecoming parade marched right in front of the new mixed-use development which houses a variety of restaurants and shops, including the BW-operated Buzz on Front and Starbucks, which were hopping with customers all morning.
From Front Street to North Quad
Following
morning
affinity
reunions
(including
the
deans
hosting
grads
from
each
school)
and
the
parade,
the
festival
moved
to
the
North
Quad
where
there
was
a
tailgate
cookout,
entertainment
and
engagement
zone
activities
for
the
crowd
of
2,000.
Shortly
before
kick-off,
the
Marching
Yellow
Jackets
led
guests
to
Finnie
Stadium
for
an
afternoon
of
Homecoming
football.
After the gridiron action and crowning of Homecoming royalty, the day was capped off with an invitation to take advantage of Berea "Dine Local!" specials and to attend the first concert of the Conservatory of Music's Kulas Keyboard Series featuring acclaimed pianist Spencer Myer.
What a day! Let's do it again in 2019!
