September 23 2011 marked the start of homecoming weekend at the prestigious SUNY Plattsburgh (aka. SUNY Iceburg). Alumni and student's families flooded the campus in hopes of experiencing the magic of 'public university life'. At 9pm, fireworks lit up the night sky. Light rain was no deterrent for the masses gathered to see the explosives being ignited behind the Memorial Hall gymnasium. A typical 20-30 minute fireworks display costs between $3,000-$30,000. In addition to this fantastic use of tuition money, the college hosted a martini social in Sibley Hall from 8-11pm.
