Stuff To Do: SYP events

From SYP president Grady Dixon

Greetings SYPers

I hope you all had a great 4th of July.  Those of us that spent time at the State Theatre on Saturday certainly enjoyed ourselves…especially seeing the completion of the 482-lb BBQ sandwich.  Photos of this thing have spread rapidly across the country…I even have been contacted by colleagues in other states that saw my photo linked in an email or website.  So, I will post a link to the best image I have seen of the actual sandwich…with Jeremiah Dumas for scale.

Vegetarians be warned of graphic material:

Just for fun, here is the link to photos of the old record.  It looks like they cheated by using large chunks of meat that would not be feasible to eat in sandwich format…amateurs!

A quick reminder that our Forum scholarship is due THIS Friday…the sooner the better so we can have a decision by Monday morning.  Read more here:

Tuesday, July 14th…SYP July Social at Bulldog Lanes.  $10 gets you 2 hours of bowling with the highest score of the night earning a cash prize.  As usual, the beer cart will be available and Bulldog Lanes has agreed to put out some appetizers for everyone.

Saturday, July 25th…Downtown Starkville Christmas in July, hosted by the Downtown Business Association.  At this event, we will have a tent set up to advertise The Festival of Trees, which was a huge success last year (raised over $20,000 for charity).  We are looking for some people to volunteer their time to help run the tent.  Please contact Jennifer Prather (JPrather@saffairs.msstate.edu) or Robyn Cain (rcain@starkville.org).
