Civil War events kick off early Dec. 3 with rally at Pioneer Square
PORTLAND, Ore. – Beaver fans are encouraged to show that they are Powered by Orange at downtown Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square on Dec. 3, as KGW News Channel 8 hosts a “pep rally” from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. in honor of the Civil War football game that night between Oregon State University and University of Oregon.
The rally will be held outside the station’s Studio on the Square. KGW’s Drew Carney will lead the crowd in several fun, competitive Civil War segments, which will be televised live. Beaver Nation is expected to be out in force, with members wearing OSU orange and black.
OSU fans planning to attend are asked to send a confirmation e-mail to Cathy Marshall, OSU Alumni Association regional director for Portland and Seattle programs, at cathy.marshall@oregonstate.edu.
