2013 Raider Red Zone Golf Shootout

While the golf shootout last weekend was a fifth time event, next weekend an event will be happening for a first time to benefit SOU student-athletes. Casino Night will take place on May 17 at the Lithia Dodge Superstore in Medford. All money raised by the event will go to the Raider Club, which raises money for SOU Athletics and scholarships for SOU student-athletes.

The event will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $40 per person and include entry, beer and wine, appetizers, and 10 raffle tickets. You can play casino games such as blackjack, craps, roulette, and Texas Holdem poker to win more raffle tickets. Prizes to be raffled off at about 9 p.m. include vacations to Puerto Vallarta and the Oregon Coast, artwork, televisions, electronics, rounds of golf, and much more.

To purchase tickets call the SOU athletic department at 541-552-6772.

SOU Raider Red Zone Golf Shootout 2013

Yesterday was the annual Southern Oregon University Raider Red Zone Golf Shootout at Eagle Point Golf Course. Most of the participants are former Raider football players who are now giving back to the program. All proceeds from the event go to help finance the football team.

But they did a bit more than just golf on this glorious, 80-degree day in early May…

Southern Oregon University’s Indian Color Festival 2013

This is International Week at Southern Oregon University. As part of the festivities, yesterday featured a Holi or Indian Color Festival.

SOU International Student Association (ISA) President Sohana Bakshi

Thursday night is the annual International Show in the Music Recital Hall on campus. Admission is free and doors open at 6. In some years the line has been so long that people who didn’t arrive before the doors opened were turned away due to lack of available seating so get there early. The show starts at 6:30.

More photos from the color festival can be found here and here.

Sunrise in Spring at SOU

I’m not sure if it was a warm winter or a warm spring, but the blossoms hit their peak a week or two early this year. I took this earlier this week, but it doesn’t normally look like this until the first week of May.
