STARKVILLE – Mississippi State athletics is set to launch Hail State Happy Hours, an exciting way for fans to interact with coaches from a variety of sports.
Fresh off another successful Road Dawgs Tour which saw capacity crowds across the state, this new meet-and-greet-style of event features free admission and is set to begin with the first of 12 stops on Monday, July 18.
The casual, drop-in events are slated to run from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at venues across Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee. The first Hail State Happy Hour will feature volleyball head coach Julie Darty Dennis, softball head coach Samantha Ricketts and soccer assistant coach Nick Zimmerman on Monday evening at Taste in Starkville.
The events carried out in partnership with the MSU Alumni Association and local alumni chapters will feature a unique opportunity to visit with Mississippi State coaches.
An additional set of Hail State Happy Hours and other engagement opportunities will be announced later this fall which will feature basketball coaches Chris Jans and Sam Purcell in select cities.
