(Morrisville, NY- Sept. 26, 2013) A 13-year tradition brought friends Vicki Crane and Joy Richwine to Morrisville State this year.<\/p>\n

The two traveled from a small town near Poughkeepsie to cheer on their sons, members of the Morrisville State football team, during the college\u2019s festive Mustang Weekend celebration.<\/p>\n

Clad in college gear, Crane and Richwine made their way to the campus bookstore to purchase Mustang regalia prior to the game that ended with a victory against St. Lawrence University.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been an exciting 13 years for the mother-duo who follow their sons\u2019 games every opportunity they can. Jonathan Crane and Andrew Richwine started playing on the same football team when they were 5 years old. That continued through high school and then on to college at Morrisville State where they are also both sports nutrition and fitness management majors.<\/p>\n

Mustang Weekend festivities were open to Morrisville State students, family members, faculty, staff, alumni, emeriti, and members of the local community.\u00a0 Highlights included a Madison Hall 5k run, antique tractor display, environmental sciences dinner and expo, lacrosse games, complimentary chair massages, and a campus community picnic and carnival.<\/p>\n

A black Alpaca named Cinco entertained children along with a donkey and various goats from the Fort Rickey Discovery Zoo. Out of the Cage Pet Mobile, a traveling exotic petting zoo, also provided educational information on a variety of animals.<\/p>\n

Auto enthusiasts enjoyed a cruise-in with hot rods and antique cars. They also had the chance to test their vehicle\u2019s torque on the college\u2019s dynamometer.<\/p>\n

The Central New York Antique Tractor Club was among those displaying tractors along with Morrisville State students from various programs. There was also a 50-year anniversary dinner for the Class of 1963.<\/p>\n
