CANYON, Texas - The West Texas A&M University Alumni Association is planning a grand slam of a summer celebration.

The Amarillo Sod Poodles will face off against the Frisco Rough Riders at 7:05 p.m. Gates open at 6 p.m.

Alumni will gather at the Pepsi Party Deck. A fajita dinner and non-alcoholic drinks are included.

"The Canyon-Amarillo WT Alumni chapter's fourth annual WT Alumni at Hodgetown is bringing new and exciting opportunities," said Ronnie Hall, executive director of the WT Alumni Association. "We look forward to gathering with WT Alumni in the Pepsi Party Deck for the first time-an ideal setting for alumni to meet and catch up with one another while enjoying great baseball."

Maintaining strong community and alumni ties is a component of the University's long-range plan, WT 125: From the Panhandle to the World.

That plan is fueled by the One West comprehensive fundraising campaign, which raised more than $200 million dollars, the largest such campaign in Texas Panhandle history.
