See first-hand the tradition that began Homecoming. The Harvest Carnival, created just for kids, is put on every year by the OSU student body, including Greek houses, residential halls and student organizations. It includes games, prizes, music and a wide variety of other activities. No tickets will be needed to play games.

Held in conjunction with the Harvest Carnival, the Chili Cook-Off is Homecoming’s tastiest tradition. Residential life, student organizations and community organizations can compete in this hot and tasty competition.

Admission is one canned good donation per person; however, as part of the 35th Annual Harvest II Community Food Drive, additional canned good donations are encouraged. 

Local agencies that will benefit from canned food donations: Central Oklahoma Adult and Teen Challenge, Mission of Hope, Neighborhood Ministries, Our Daily Bread, Payne County Youth Services, Pete's Pantry, Salvation Army, and Wings of Hope.
