There's something for EVERYONE at Genesee Community College's 3rd Annual Homecoming weekend Sept. 28-29 -- for alumni, students, staff and the community!

We're "Bringin' Back the '80s" with hair bands and Harleys on Friday night. Check out the gleaming chrome of some monster hogs and enjoy the high-stepping moves of the Cougarettes Cheer and Dance Teams. It all starts at 5 p.m. Live music gets under way at 6:30 p.m. with Four Dead Trees, Noah's Reign, Poison'd (Poison tribute) and Red, White and Crue (Motley Crue covers).

On Saturday, "git yer motor runnin'" for the Cruise at the College, which will feature classic cars and trucks on display from 12-4 p.m. in the north parking lot. From 1-4 p.m., greet some of the talented artists who graduated from GCC as they display their best work in the Alumni Art Exhibit in the Roz Steiner Art Gallery.

There will also be alumni and men and women's soccer games throughout the day.

At 5 p.m., GCC honors some of its stellar athletes with the third annual Athletic Hall of Fame Induction. Later, join your friends to raise a glass during the Oktober Brewfest starting at 7 p.m. at Batavia Downs, 8315 Park Road, Batavia.
