Food trucks, free burgers, live music, and a few local vendors were available for everyone.

For some, homecoming is a walk down memory lane, for others, it’s a family tradition.

“It’s the community and everybody is here to support the gorillas. And we just all are here to have a good time. And it’s just fun,” said Zalie Allen, incoming PSU freshman attends every year.

Homecoming festivities ended the “Gorilla Walk,” and a two o’clock game against “Fort Hays State University.”
