Don’t rain on my parade

LISA HOBBS – News Editor

It was one of the coldest Homecoming Parades in recent memory, as temperatures dipped down to 63 and felt like 54 with the windchill.

Spectators bundled up in coats and blankets, wore gloves, and huddled together for warmth as they waited for the parade to begin. The drizzle started approximately 10 minutes prior to 2 p.m. Those with umbrellas used them.

Despite the cold and the rain, nothing could hold back the excitement when the parade rolled down Main Street.

The seniors’ float offered an 80s theme with the movie “Ghost Busters.”

The juniors’ float offered a 90s theme with the movie “Toy Story.”

The sophomores’ float offered a 50s theme with the movie “Grease.”  

The freshmen’s float offered a 70s theme with “Disco Inferno.”

The Lot could not contain the number of individuals that gathered to for the Pioneer Pep Rally at 2:30 p.m. Spectators circled the festivities, as well as lined sidewalks. All, urging the Pioneers to victory and ignoring the occasional downpour of rain.
