BONFIRE COALITION ANNOUNCES PARENT'S WEEKEND ACTIVITIES

April 7, 2003

For immediate release

  Two organizations dedicated to the revival of the Texas Aggie Bonfire tradition have scheduled a pair of events to coincide with Parents’ weekend Saturday and Sunday.

  The Bonfire Coalition, and its affiliated Bonfire Coalition for Students, will host a barbeque Saturday at 11:30 a.m. at the Olsen Field Pavilion.  On Sunday, the Coalition will offer a car wash at Long John Silvers on Texas Avenue, from 11:30 a.m. until 4 p.m.

  At Saturday’s barbeque, which will precede kickoff of Texas A&M’s spring football game, the Coalition will present its annual report, which includes a review of collegiate bonfires across the nation.  Admission to both events is free; however, donations will be accepted.
