Homecoming Events, September 26th, 2009

As a member of the athletic department I invite you to “Celebrate 40 Fabulous Years of Dragon Athletics!” In lieu of the traditional Dragon Hall of Fame, this year’s Homecoming celebration will focus on MSU Moorhead’s athletic accomplishments over the past 40 years. The change in the annual induction ceremony is centered around the retirement of Larry “Scotty” Scott.

  

A Dragon student and employee, Scotty served as the Dragons Sports Information Director for the past four decades after his graduation from MS.   His long time involvement in Dragon Athletics offers a unique opportunity to celebrate the fabulous accomplishments of the Dragons for over the past 40 years and to recognize a Dragon legend.

The “40 Fabulous Years of Dragon Athletics” Celebration will be held at the Best Western Doublewood Inn on Saturday, September 26, 2009. 

Tickets for the celebration are $35 and include dinner and admission to the dance. Pre-registration for the dinner is required due to limited space.  The dance will be open to the public after the formal program with a cover charge of $10. 

 

In addition, a 9-hole golf tournament “A Round with Scotty” is also scheduled on Saturday, September 26 at 8:30 a.m. at the Moorhead Country Club.  Pre-registration and pre-payment of $60 is required due to limited space.  Registration for both events is available online at www.dragonhomecoming.com or by calling Gloria Riopelle at 218-477-5824 for more information.
