CHS Homecoming Parade 2009

This was held on Wednesday, but am just getting the photos up now. Sorry for the delay. I was very, very impressed by how much this event has grown since I was in high school. They had just re-started it when I was a senior and it was a piddling little sight to see- but now, this qualifies as a full on parade. Quite the sight and quite the event for the East Side!



The line up...



Parade watching fuel... plus, this thing went right in front of our house, so we (or I, at least- the Missus was still at work.) had the best seats in the house!



The Pep Band!



A shout-out for The Quiet Man's friend the Mervgatti-- his favorite teach and the rest of the World Languages Department. (Sorry it's blurry, Merv...)



Some more of the parade...

City High plays CR Kennedy for their homecoming game tonight and the Missus and I were toying with the idea of going, but the weather today is truly miserable. It's going to be a soupy mess at Bates Field and a chilly home stand for the Little Hawks. (Their QB AJ Derby has made a verbal commitment to Iowa-- and by all accounts he's pretty awesome to watch, so maybe later in the season.)
