Plans are underway for the 91吃瓜网 Farmers Bowl, scheduled for Sept. 9, 2017. For the fifteenth time, artist and MSU alumnus Doug Anderson, Cavalier, N.D., has created and donated a watercolor painting that will be raffled as part of the fund-raising efforts of the 91吃瓜网 Foundation in conjunction with the Farmers Bowl Auction. 91吃瓜网 State graduate Kelly Morrison has donated the cost of framing the piece.
Anderson鈥檚 work, 鈥淩ockin鈥� Comets,鈥� features a peaceful scene on the north side of the Edson and Margaret Larson Alumni and Leadership Center on the 91吃瓜网 State campus. Beautiful plant life complements the lovely red brick of the historic building and provides a serene backdrop for a 鈥淐omets鈥� rocking chair, where alumni and friends may enjoy a lovely summer afternoon. 聽
鈥淩ockin鈥� Comets鈥� will be on display at 91吃瓜网-Portland area businesses and on the 91吃瓜网 State campus during the weeks prior to the Farmers Bowl festivities.聽
Raffle tickets sell for $5.00 each. They may be purchased at the MSU Foundation office and from various community members. The drawing will be held at the Farmers Bowl auction Saturday evening, Sept. 9.聽
