University officials are encouraging students and alumni to purchase Homecoming buttons before the start of the annual celebration Oct. 7.
Buttons cost $10 each and allow patrons to attend several events for free, including the Miss Cinderella talent show and pageant and the university’s football game. Some Alva businesses offer discounts to customers wearing the buttons during the festivities.
Homecoming buttons are individually numbered. Each number is entered into a drawing for a chance to win $500 in Alva Chamber of Commerce “Chamber Bucks,” which may be used to purchase goods at businesses.
To purchase buttons, contact Karen Koehn, button sales chair, by calling 580-327-7273 or emailing kkoehn@nwtech.edu.
People who want to purchase buttons can buy them at the Alva Chamber of Commerce office, 502 Oklahoma Blvd., 580-327-1647; the Northwestern Foundation office in the Student Center, 580-327-8593; or the Northwestern business office in Herod Hall, 580-327-8536.
Buttons also will be available at Alva Vision, 580-327-2393; Holder Drug, 580-327-3332; La DEE Da’s, 580-327-0382; Shepherd Oil Convenience Store, 580-327-8055; Sights and Sounds/Radio Shack, 580-327-0409; and Rialto Cinema, 580-327-0535.
