First Friday parade tonight

The Clemson community gathers at 6 tonight to celebrate the start of the football season at the annual First Friday parade.  More than 60 organizations, community groups, Clemson University departments, sororities, and other student groups take part.  The parade route begins at Cherry Road and highway 93 and continues along 93 to the lower intramural fields at Williamson Road.  Highway 93 will be closed from 5:45 p-m until the parade ends, and Newman and Morrison roads on campus will close at 4 o’clock.  The first home game of the season kicks off at 12:30 tomorrow at Memorial Stadium, as the Tigers play Wofford.
