NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Westminster College will celebrate Homecoming with a variety of activities Sept. 28-30.
The annual Homecoming parade will take place Saturday at 10:30 a.m. on Market Street. This year's parade theme is "Get Animated."

Entries will be judged by the Westminster Class of 1962.
The college will hold a rededication ceremony for Patterson Hall Friday at 4:30 p.m. starting in the Orr Auditorium lobby.
