COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Purple Pride Caravan will be even bigger and better this summer, with the first stop planned at the Jamestown Walmart on Thursday afternoon.
The Purple Pride Caravan returns with 10 stops throughout the region to raise anticipation for the upcoming sports year. Every caravan is free and fans are encouraged to participate.
Several Tennessee Tech head coaches, cheerleaders, and Tech mascot Awesome Eagle will all be available to meet and hang out with, while fans can also enjoy hot dogs and soft drinks, completing the tailgate atmosphere.
The Jamestown Caravan stop will feature Tennessee Tech tennis head coach Kenny Doyle. Doyle is a two-time Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the year who is starting his sixth year as the head coach of the team.
Each event will last 98 minutes and will include registration for a grand prize drawing, where one lucky fan will win a trip for two with the Golden Eagles to their Sept. 27 game at University of Northern Iowa.
Sponsored by 98.5 KISS FM, Pepsi and TTUsports.com, each Purple
Pride Caravan event will begin at 5 p.m. and run until 6:38
p.m.
The Jamestown Walmart will feature the first stop of the Purple
Pride Caravan on Thursday, July 10. Seven of the remaining
nine stops will also be at the local Walmart, with the other two
stops planned at the IGA stores in Cookeville and Livingston.
The grand prize registration will be done by 98.5 KISS FM (the
home of Golden Eagle football broadcasts) at each of the stops. The
winner will receive a TTU/Northern Iowa Flyaway Trip for two,
including air travel, hotel accommodations, tickets to the game and
meals.
No winners will be selected below the age of 18. Winner may not be
a high school student-athlete or immediate family member of an
athlete without jeopardizing collegiate eligibility at an NCAA
institution. Complete rules for the contest can be found at the

After beginning in Jamestown, the Purple Pride Caravan will be
stopping at Smithville, Cookeville, Carthage, Sparta, Livingston,
