Family Weekend 2023 A Taste of the Kentucky Doughnut Trail

In 2012, The New York Times article “Twists and Turns along a Kentucky Doughnut Trail” brought well-deserved publicity to many of the region’s fine doughnut purveyors and introduced the country to one of Kentucky’s sweetest secrets. Now we are bringing those sweet treats to you in the final event of Family Weekend! Drop by the Gatton Student Center Ballroom between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. to sample doughnuts from some of our favorite local bakeries, including North Lime Coffee & Donuts, Donut Days, Doughdaddy’s Doughnuts, and more; then vote for your favorite!

Menu:

• Doughnuts*
• Coffee, milk, juice, water*
• Smoothies*

*Gluten-free (limited gluten-free doughnut) options available.

Before you say goodbye to your student, be sure to take one last family photo in one of our photo booths and write a postcard of encouragement to your student that will be delivered to them during midterms.

Free parking will be available in the Cornerstone Parking Garage on South Limestone all day.
