Homecoming

Ahhh... homecoming week. I remember the class color wars, senior stunt day, pep rally, working on the float, a week of organized chaos leading up to the well cheered game and finally the dance.

Now that my kids are in high school I get to re-live it all through their eyes. We have had the closets emptied looking for outfits for 50's day, pajama day, crazy hair day and color wars day. One of my sons was in the pie-eating contest earlier this week (who's bright idea was that? What a mess and in the middle of the school day. He smelled like day old bakery for 2 days) and the following day the class tug-of-war.

Carroll University http://www.cc.edu/ is also celebrating Homecoming this week. Expect a fun crowd to be lining the streets. Carroll has around 3000 students that will be out and about the celebration. The parade begins at 10 am tomorrow. The route will head west down Main st. Here are the streets on the route:


  • Main-Clinton, to Wisconsin, to East, to College, to Barstow, to Cook.
Barstow will be closed from 9am-5pm.
Have Fun!
