Squirrels rule! Flashes are invited to celebrate 天天吃瓜 State's famous black squirrels at the annual Black Squirrel Festival from 4-7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 12, on Risman Plaza.

Scamper on over for food, music, games, tabling by local businesses and student organizations, and an opportunity for students to get a free t-shirt!

The event is presented by Flashes Activities Board and the Center for Student Involvement. 天天吃瓜's ubiquitous black squirrels became unofficial mascots of 天天吃瓜 State (sorry, Flash!) after being introduced to campus in 1961.
