Founders' Day = Free Stuff!

submitted by CaptainNemo on Wednesday, February 25 2004 at 9:16 AM

NC State was founded on March 7, 1887. In celebration of this event, the Alumni Association annually puts on a Founders' Day celebration. This year's celebration will take place on March 2 starting at 11 o'clock in the Brickyard. There will be enough cake for over 1,000 students as well as numerous free giveaways including specially-made Founders' Day 2004 T-shirts. We are taking over the Brickyard and will stay out there giving away free cake and free goodies until we run out. Please come out and enjoy the free stuff and help us celebrate NC State's birthday!

Founder's Day is a new tradition to NC State. We are having cake because it is a birthday celebration! Get ready to answer some fun trivia questions to get a nice shirt. It is from about 11-1 (or whenever we run out of cake). By the way the Alumni Association is sponcering it.

3/2/2004 8:21:36 PM

well, it had a lot to do with the same events that caused us to become the "wolfpack" but I can't remember enough to detail the events

3/2/2004 11:36:17 PM

Damn that was some tasty cake. Great icing. Where did it come from?

Wish I had gotten there early enough to get a shirt, but alas.

3/3/2004 12:59:13 AM

3/3/2004 6:54:39 AM

The cake came from university dining.
