GREENSBORO, N.C. — North Carolina A&T State University's 98th Homecoming is expected to attract hundreds of thousands of people.
It's deemed the Greatest Homecoming on Earth, also known as GHOE.
Starting at 1pm on Friday the university is hosting its Official Homecoming Vendor Expo at the Sheraton at the Koury Convention Center.
WFMY News 2 spoke to two vendors who said the best part about the expo is the networking opportunities with fellow Aggies.
"Coming to homecoming is like coming to an Aggie family reunion," Founder and CEO of HBCU Legacy Fashion Cheylaina Fultz said.
She told us this is her third year at the Expo and the idea stemmed from wanting high quality kids clothing.
Vendor Dr. Marissa Dick sells romance novels and also teaches at A&T. Its her fourth year at the expo. She told us being a part of the event is just one of the many ways she shows her Aggie pride.
"I am actually walking what I teach A&T instilled in me, I instill it in my students to discover your purpose and walk it out," Dick shared.
The vendor expo runs at the Sheraton until noon on Sunday.
