In 1912, Professor S.W. Beyer called out to alumni, encouraging them to return to Ames for the Iowa State College-University of Iowa football game for Iowa State’s first “homecoming” celebration.  Over the past 100 years Homecoming has become a cherished ISU tradition — a time of reunion and celebration.

Adair County Extension & Outreach is excited to celebrate Cytennial – the 100th anniversary of homecoming at Iowa State and are hosting an Appreciation Event at their new offices  in Greenfield.   The public is invited to stop in with friends and family on Friday, October 26 from 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. to enjoy some light refreshments, along with special activities for the kids.

As part of the Homecoming celebration and ISU Extension’s commitment to serve, there will be a drop-off site for donations of personal hygiene items during the appreciation event on October 26. These donated items will go towards the local Presbyterian Church’s pantry.  Items like laundry soap, shower supplies, toothpaste, diapers, tissues and paper products, and first aid supplies can be taken.  A complete list of acceptable supplies can be found online at: www.extension.iastate.edu/adair
