Youngstown State University’s 2011 Homecoming Week kicks off Monday, with activities and giveaways leading up to the 71st annual Homecoming Parade and football game on Saturday.
Saturday’s parade begins at 11 a.m. and will proceed up Fifth Avenue to Stambaugh Stadium.
Afterwards, the YSU Penguins will host Western Illinois in a critical conference game.
Kickoff is set for 1 p.m., and the crowning of the homecoming king and queen will take place at halftime.
Throughout the week, special events are planned, which include at least four separate eating contests: sausage biscuits, hamburgers, chicken wings and doughnuts.
See The Vindicator and Vindy.com on Monday for more complete details on homecoming week activities.
