The Start to Homecoming Weekend
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 5, 2016) — Homecoming weekend begins on Thursday, Oct. 6. The Student Activities Board (SAB) and STAT/Team Wildcat will host the third annual Homecoming Street Fair tomorrow from 5-8 p.m., at the area surrounding William T. Young Library.

“I love the Street Fair and all that it represents for UK’s homecoming,” stated Emilee Hurt, co-chair for the Homecoming Committee for STAT/Team Wildcat. “It has become a tradition over the years and I am so thankful that I can be a part of it!”
Street Fair is an anticipated event after the success from the the previous two years. Students can enjoy music from a DJ and play inflatable games.
