Fueling the Power of Red

The Big Red Welcome was held this past weekend -- it's an annual event at the University of Nebraska Lincoln to welcome new students to campus and returning students back to Lincoln. Basically, it's a three-day event that features everything from a pep rally to parties. Toss in a few concerts and a pancake breakfast and you get the idea.

On Sunday, though, a Welcome Festival includes campus organizations, local vendors and giveaways. The Nebraska Corn Board has supported the Welcome Festival for several years -- promoting corn and ethanol with the Fueling the Power of Red campaign. This year, the Corn Board distributed to students Cornhusker red cinch sacks printed with the Fueling the Power of Red message.

They also parked the corn van on-site - promoting corn and E85.
