Annual barbecue for alumni offered at O'Connell

October 5, 2006

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The University of Florida celebrates Homecoming 2006 with the annual alumni barbecue Saturday at the O’Connell Center.

It will start two and one-half hours before kickoff of the football game. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door.

The annual alumni barbecue welcomes all families and friends of UF to join in food, music and activities as a remembrance of why it’s great to be a Florida Gator. The year promises to be a great time as the Alumni Association and Florida football team celebrate their 100 years of Gator tradition.

“There will be plenty to keep all generations of Gators entertained, so don’t miss out on the fun,” said Lauren Asher, alumni barbecue director.
