USD Hosts Event to Connect and Celebrate USD and Vermillion Communities
GatheRED seeks to connect the USD and Vermillion communities in an evening of family-friendly fun and where red – the predominant color of USD, the Vermillion School District and the VCDC’s identity – is a uniting factor.
The evening will feature live music from USD’s pep band, the SOUND of USD, and a local favorite band, Blue Rune. There will be giveaways, face painting, games, Charlie Coyote, the USD Spirit Teams and more. Food provided by Heck’s Dakota Style BBQ, R Pizza, and Cow & Spoon will be available to purchase.
Fernson Brewing Company, out of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, will sell a variety of draft beer, including the newly released red ale, Yipeeo! This new beer, with a familiar name and color, is a tribute to USD, created for Coyote fans.
“Every year, USD is honored to host a Thursdays on the Platz event during the summer,” said USD President Sheila K. Gestring. “This year, we felt it was important to show that the communities are united in many ways, but especially in our love for the color red.”
“Through GatheRED, we are celebrating the connection between USD and the Vermillion community, and we celebrate welcoming new community members,” said Nate Welch, president & CEO of the VCDC. “GatheRED is the perfect opportunity to show that in Vermillion we love to celebrate with red.”
