Two popular, colorful events will make for a busy Saturday morning on the
Boise State University campus. Both offer excellent photo, video and story
opportunities.
• The second annual Beat Coach Pete Fun Run for Student Scholarships begins
at 9:30 a.m. in front of the Student Recreation Center; the race course is
along the Greenbelt through Anne Morrison and Julia Davis parks. Last year
about 750 people attended this event, which raises money for student
scholarships. Bronco football Coach Chris Petersen is the featured racer,
and he has pledge to donate money for every participant who beats him to the
finish line.
• The annual Seven Arrows Pow Wow is one of the most culturally interesting
and visual events at Boise State, featuring contests in dancing and
drumming. The grand entry will take place at noon on Saturday and will
feature the Honor Guard unit from the Mountain Home Air Force Base and an
invocation by Michael Pavel of Washington State University, a member of the
Skokomish Tribe. Events continue with intertribal and contest dancing, the
Miss Seven Arrows contest, student organization performances, drumming and
another grand entry at 7 p.m. The Pow Wow runs from 9 a.m.-11 p.m. Saturday
and 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday; the grand entry on Sunday is at noon.
