Boilermaker backdrop available for holiday pictures
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Those who like to send Boilermaker-themed holiday cards can get their pictures taken with traditional Purdue University symbols at the Visitor Information Center.

The conference room at the center, 504 Northwestern Ave., has again been transformed into a photographic studio featuring Boilermaker props – a tree decorated with gold ornaments and pinecones tied with gold ribbons, a mini-Boilermaker Special, and a black backdrop trimmed with gold leaves.
Anyone with a camera can make an appointment for a free half-hour session now through Dec. 18. Family pets are welcome. A tripod will be available.
Light-colored clothing is suggested to contrast with the black backdrop.
Appointments are required and can be scheduled by calling (765) 494-4636. Appointment times are available from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. The studio will be closed Sundays and Nov. 25-28 for Thanksgiving break.
The busiest days generally are Fridays and Saturdays.
