Shopping carts for Friday’s Rogers State University Homecoming Parade are now available for pickup, according to Career Services Coordinator Payton Lahmeyer. 

Registered Student Organizations can reserve a cart to decorate for the parade. All decorations must be removable — such as those attached with hot glue, zip ties, string, or tape. Permanent alterations using paint, super glue, or glitter are prohibited. 

The parade features only shopping carts and walking groups. It begins at 3:00 p.m. this Friday in the Bushyhead parking lot and ends at the Chapman parking lot. 

Carts are available on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited supply. Reserved carts can be picked up in DCTC Conference Room A between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. 

To sign up for a cart or register a walking entry, contact Student Activities Coordinator Meg Thompson or call at 918-343-7755.
