SAN MARCOS – The Texas State University Alumni Association will host it's first-ever San Antonio Fiesta medal release party March 23 from 5-7 p.m. in San Antonio.
The event will take place at Chisme! in San Antonio.
The limited-edition medal celebrates iconic images of Texas State, featuring Old Main, the San Marcos River and the school flower — the Texas wildflower gaillardia, which is sometimes referred to as an "Indian blanket" or "Mexican blanket." It is the first Fiesta Medal ever produced by the Texas State Alumni Association.
The medal release party kicks off a series of events in the San Antonio area to celebrate the more than 32,000 alumni living in the area.
Other events scheduled for San Antonio Fiesta include Careers in the City, April 3 at Pearl Studio, and the Alumni Golf Tournament, April 16 at the Club at Sonterra. The limited-edition Fiesta medal will be available at both events.
Alumni can learn more information and register for each event at alumni.txstate.edu.
