#COLAweekend | Sept. 15-17, 2017

As we all look to take a breather after a week of tropical storms + power outages, Cola has plenty of fun and educational offerings this weekend, from the 39th annual historic Jubilee to the first UofSC football home game.

You can find me at Williams-Brice Stadium this weekend, cheering on my team with about 80,000 of my closest friends.

Go Gamecocks,

-Anjali
