The one and only Coach Bud Foster will be at the Campus Emporium South Main location on April 22nd!

Hokies Defensive Coordinator, pioneer of the Lunch Pail legend and philosophy, founder of the Lunch Pail Scholarship Fund and all around cool dude, Coach Foster will be available from about 5:30-7:00 on April 22nd for photos and autographs at our new South Main store.

Hokie Bird will also be there from 5:00-6:30 for kids of all ages. We’re working on getting a food vendor there, but there are some great restaurants nearby, like Our Daily Bread, in case you get hungry.

105.3 The Bear will be on location from 5:00-7:00 with your chance to win a Harley Davidson Sportster XL 1200 motorcycle.

We don’t generally like rules, but this is a special occasion:

• Limit ONE personal item and/or ONE item purchased at Campus Emporium the day of the signing.
• Please be brief so everyone has a chance to visit with Bud.
• Photos are allowed while you are having your items signed, but again, please be brief. And try not to blind the poor guy.
• No idiots. You know who you are. Don’t feel bad- we’re keeping our idiots at the downtown store that day.
• Only Bud is allowed to have an attitude, but we’ll even rough him up if we have to.
• Hokie girls – although he appreciates your enthusiasm, Bud will not sign your lady parts. Not sure about Hokie Bird, though. Is he married?
• Have fun! We obviously will.

The signing will take place at our new location at 1337 South Main Street. Our number is 540-553-0505. Parking is available. Check back here or follow us on Facebook for any updates.
