October 2009 FHS Homecoming with Alumni

Farmerville High School Homecoming 2009 was a wet day but it didn't keep the Farmers from victory!!! There was steady rain all day starting the morning off with a big bang of high winds and tornadoes that ripped through Antioch, Downsville and Rocky Branch. Shortly after the rain lightened up and the coronation began.

Here is a closeup of one of the Alumni Tee's we had made up specifically for this event:


The other one has "Once a Farmer, Always a Farmer" on the back similar to this big float banner. I can't believe I forgot to take photos of the backs of the tee's. Woops! Blame it on the rain!

Anyway, here are some pics from the homecoming coronation.





And our cool Alumni "Blast from the Past" Banner that Roger Ouchley had made especially for Homecoming.


After the coronation, the next big event was the parade. And again, a light steady mist of rain didn't stop the homecoming beauties and all the school floats. The Alumni "Once a Farmer, Always a Farmer" float had a mixture of classes including a member of one of the FHS 50's class - and I can't remember what class this lady said she was in, but she was the only one of her friends who was brave enough to ride. The FHS football players jumped on at the last minute which really made this a rawking float.







After the parade, it was "Tailgate" time. Well, since no one wanted to eat BBQ and fried catfish out in the rain no matter how awesome it was, the school board offered the alumni the conference room. Yeah, air conditioning and a roof over our heads! No photos of the tailgate because we were so busy serving food (and eating), but here's a photo of what I call "the couple of the day" , Tracey Kennedy (who ended up having to repair his mom's roof that had blown off that morning), and Lisa Fowler aka "The Librarian".


If anyone has photos taken at the game, please send them in so I can post them here.

I am hearing buzzes about other FHS reunions in the works. So far the class of 1975 is planning theirs for the summer 2010, and the class of 1980 is planning one for the Spring of 2010. How exciting!
