SMSU Homecoming and More!

Hello! 

This last week has been filled with so many different events. Last weekend was SMSU’s homecoming. On Tuesday of last week, SMSU hosted a hypnotist by the name of Chris Jones. Wednesday Jen Keohen was winner of Mustang Idol, which entertained many of SMSU’s students and faculty; not very many seats were left! Thursday night, we crowned Kyle Lecy and Karissa Herrman as homecoming king and queen. Friday night, SMSU’s foundation and alumni held their annual Gala to raise funds for scholarships for our students. A lot people in the community of Marshall supported this event financially.  Many of our students get scholarships from funds that are raised from this large event.  Saturday was the official SMSU homecoming day.  It was filled with events like the Annual Lions Club Pancake Feed, a parade and multiple sporting events.  The night ended with SMSU’s football team beating the Minnesota State University - Moorhead Dragons 48 – 9.

            Not only did the weekend hold homecoming events, it also began the duck hunting season.  Many of our students and community members participated in the duck opener, including myself. The picture below is where my group set up our camp.  We had a very successful morning.  We got up at 3:30am and set up our decoys and blinds before sunrise.  7:05am was the time set to officially start the duck season.
