There will also be a paper airplane contest at halftime, at which participants will make paper airplanes and send them flying toward a target on the basketball court.

But it doesn't end there . . . All students who wear the T-shirts to the next day’s Founders Day festivities will receive a FREE prize, and will be entered into a drawing for larger prizes!

Here's how it will work:

- The University will celebrate Founders Day on Thursday, Feb. 21, beginning at 12:15 p.m., on the new bridge over the Park River. There will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the bridge, followed by a Founders Day Float Contest on the bridge, and birthday cake and music in Gengras Student Union.

- All students who wear their Founders Day T-shirts to the events on the bridge will receive a FREE prize, and will be entered into a drawing for larger prizes! Remember, the fun begins on the bridge at 12:15 p.m. next Thursday.
