College Sponsors Kingdom Bound Again

For the third consecutive year Houghton College was a title sponsor of western New York's premier Christian music festival, Kingdom Bound 2007, in August. During the festival, college volunteers gave T-shirts to all prospective students and youth pastors who completed a reply card, then held drawings from the reply cards collected to give away three Lenova laptop computers. The college also sponsored an alumni picnic during the festival.

"Thousands of conversations take place about where Houghton is, what it means to attend a Christian college and what kind of majors and programs we offer," said Wayne MacBeth, vice president for enrollment and market relations.

Kingdom Bound is an annual Christian music festival held at Darien Lake amusement park and camping resort in Darien Center, N.Y. It is one of North America's largest and longest running events of its kind and typically attracts about 65,000 people from all over the United States and Canada over its four days.
