Homecoming could be your "ticket" to a great vacation! Come to Southeastern's Homecoming!
At the parade, be on the lookout for special (giant-sized!) doubloons that will be tossed along the
route. If you catch one, bring it to the Homecoming game. Your doubloon will be "put into the
hat" for a drawing to determine the winners of a pair of round trip airline tickets to anywhere in
the continental United States, compliments of Navigant Vacations.
