You’ll have to get out to Cookeville this Saturday because the Tennessee Tech University homecoming parade just gained a famous alumnus.
Now retired NASA Astronaut, Butch Wilmore will serve as grand marshal of the parade ahead of their homecoming game. We all know Butch as the Gilligan of space.. he was one of the 2 astronauts stuck on the international space station for almost a year after what was supposed to be a 2-week trip.
The parade starts at 9am on Saturday along Dixie Avenue. Details HERE
On Friday afternoon, a ceremony will take place to commemorate “Wilmore Way” on the TTU campus, as well!
