Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College (NEO) is preparing for this year’s annual homecoming celebration, “Peace, Love, & Homecoming”, set for Saturday, October 7, 2017 at Red Robertson Field, where NEO will take on the Cisco College Wranglers. T-shirts for “Peace, Love, and Homecoming” will go on sale starting Tuesday, Sept. 5, and come in a variety of groovy colors.

Homecoming week will begin on Wednesday, Oct. 4, with the Homecoming Kickoff and NEO is inviting the community to join the celebration and enjoy games, food, and fun. Dinner will run from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. by the NEO fountain, and wristbands for food will cost $5 for adults, NEO employees and children will be $3, and students are free with an NEO ID. NEO will also continue the tradition of the homecoming pageant on Thursday, followed by a Friday pep rally, and game day celebrations, starting with the NEO Outstanding Alumni Banquet, begin at noon.

“Homecoming week is a wonderful tradition at NEO and we want to make sure our students and the community have a great time,” said Lisa Severe, homecoming committee chair. “We also want everyone to be wearing a homecoming shirt, so anyone wearing a homecoming shirt will get free admission to this year’s game!”
