Beginning Friday, November 13, Texas A&M University will observe a week-long remembrance of the Bonfire Tragedy that claimed the lives of twelve Aggies in 1999.

Some of the campus wide events that have been planned include a Bonfire Exhibit. From November 13 -16, the exhibit featuring photos and memorabilia will be on display at the Rudder Exhibit Hall from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.

The exhibit will move to G. Rollie White Coliseum on November 17 where the public will be allowed to view it from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Then at 8 p.m. on November 17, a Remembrance Program will be held at Reed Arena. Event organizers say the program will be similar to that of Texas A&M's traditional Muster that's held in the spring.

On November 18, at 242 a.m. at the precise time stack fell ten years go, a candlelight vigil will be held at the Bonfire Memorial. Of course throughout the rest of the day, at G. Rollie White Coliseum, the Bonfire Exhibit will be remain on display.
