Homecoming week, reunion planning continues
Organizers behind this year’s homecoming week festivities and annual five year reunion continued their hard work this week, putting some additional finishing touches on what is shaping up to be one of the busiest weeks on the Wills Point events calendar.
Homecoming Parade and Community Pep Rally
For the second consecutive year, Wills Point’s homecoming week festivities will kick off with a parade and community pep rally Sept. 21.
Last year’s event proved to be a success, with hundreds of attendees lining the brick streets of downtown to watch the parade and take pictures. To help traffic flow throughout the area, this year’s parade and pep rally will be moved to the Wills Point High School campus.
The parade route will begin next to the football stadium, and work its way around the entirety of the main campus before the pep rally takes place in the south end of the high school parking lot.
This year’s event is expected to be headlined by parade Grand Marshal Ken Autry Davis and members of the 1965 State Championship football team.
Festivities are scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m.
Homecoming Night
Homecoming night will bring plenty of excitement, with Wills Point scheduled to take on in county rival Canton Sept. 25.
Prior to kickoff of the final non-district game of the 2015 season for the Tigers, the Wills Point Rotary Club will host their annual Hamburger Supper from 5 to 7 p.m. at the high school campus.
Meal tickets will be $6, with proceeds being used to help with maintenance and repairs at Lester Park and Felix Massey Educational Grants for Teachers.
