Have you always wanted to be in the MSU Homecoming Parade?
This year’s parade theme is “Uniquely Spartan†which celebrates the uniqueness of all Spartans. Since
the APA support staff plays such an important role here at MSU, we decided it was about time we had
our first entry in the parade.
We would love to have APA members and their families walk with us and help pass out goodies along
the way. No previous parade experience necessary. No float building or special costumes needed.
Wear your Spartan colors, bring your smiles (and comfy shoes). If you and your family are interested in
walking in the parade with APA, just let us know ahead of time so we can make sure there is space for
everyone. Please contact Sue Brandt at [email protected].
The parade begins Friday, October 20 th at 6:00 p.m. at the Hannah Community Center, travels south on
Abbot to Grand River and onto campus at the Farm Lane entrance; ending at the Planetarium.
To walk in the parade, members and their families need to arrive no later than 5:30pm at the Hannah
Community Center, 819 Abbot Road. Parade parking will be available in the west side parking lot only of
the St. Thomas Aquinas Parish. A shuttle will be available from the church parking lot to take you to the
staging area at the Hannah Community Center. Following the parade’s conclusion, there will be a
shuttle available from the MSU Planetarium to take you back to the St. Thomas Aquinas parking lot.
