Scheduled for Aug. 29 at Marymont Manson on Rucker Lane


(MURFREESBORO) — The MTSU Rutherford County Alumni Chapter’s annual Pigskin Pre-Game will be held on Saturday, Aug. 29, to kickoff the football season.
The event will be held at Marymont Mansion in Marymont Springs, located at 1140 Rucker Lane in Murfreesboro.
“Last year, almost 500 people attended Pigskin and we were able to raise almost $10,000 toward the scholarship fund,” said Paul Wydra, assistant director in the Office of Alumni Relations at MTSU. “Great food, entertainment and people. We hope even more people can attend this year.”
Tickets for the event, which will run from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m., will be $35. Attendees must pre-pay and reply by Wednesday, Aug. 26, to secure their ticket. The ticket price includes food, entertainment by Danny Lowe, beverages, door prizes and more, Wydra said, adding that on-site parking will be available.
All proceeds from Pigskin Pre-game will benefit the Rutherford County Alumni Scholarship Fund. The Rutherford County Alumni Fund awarded $20,000 in scholarships to incoming freshman for the 2008-09 school year. In the last three years, the fund has awarded $57,000 in scholarships to incoming MTSU students from Rutherford County.
Participating sponsors include Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Stones River Total Beverages, DET Distributing and Pepsi/MTSU Vending.
