Here's how things shaped up this year.
What? J.U. Blacksher High School's Homecoming Parade.
When? Saturday-October 17th
Where? The usual route. We stood in front of the school.
Why? Cuz it's fun and you gets lots of candy. :o)
2009 Theme? Shake, Rattle, 'n' Roll.
Weather? A little on the cool and windy side, but it's October, and it NEEDS to start cooling off around here.

This is Zack and his friend, Peyton(JB Wilkins' son for any of you who remember JB), waiting for the parade to start. The kids were supposed to dress 50's style. You can't really tell much because everyone is trying to stay warm. 
Here's Matt waiting for the parade to start.
And here's the wild cat waiting for the parade.
This is a shot of part of Todd's class float.
The Kindergarten float. They did a great job. Look at the detail! I'm glad I'm wasn't the one stuffing the tissue paper in the chicken wire for the skirting. It's looks great though.
Zack's class float---1st grade. I missed helping out. They were finished before I had a free day to help. It turned out cute.
The 2nd grade float. Most classes went with a 50's theme because of the song, but I liked seeing the different ideas others came up with.
The 4th grade float---Tow Truck. Another cool idea not following the 50's theme. It say's "Shake 'Em Up and Tow 'Em Home" on the side.
Todd's class float--5th grade - "Bulldogs Drive-in to a Victory."
Todd throwing dad some candy.
Hey, Megan! Even Elvis made an appearance. This is the 3rd grade float.
There he is again! Sorry you missed him, Megan.
This is where Lauren stayed during most of the parade. She had a little stash of candy and sat down and happily munched away. She didn't care anything about the band, floats, or anything else that was going on.

Awesome. Looks like everyone had a great time & of course you have to have Elvis. :0P Hear we won. But I have one question...who the heck are the eagles? Don't guess I know them. Anyway. Thanks for the pictures. Wish I could have been there with you guys. Love ya'll.
I wonder who deleted a quote? Was that you? Yep, they won, 40-something to 18. The Resurrection Catholic Eagles. I've never heard of them either. I believe they are a private school just across the Mississippi line.
yeah...I deleted my first one behind it was having issues & posted me twice. Sorry!! Anyway....since when did we start playing new schools.
"behind"...what is that? I meant "because".
Now I am having issues. :0P
This year is the first year they've played this school, but usually they play bigger rival schools(for homecoming) to bring in more money. I guess they had to go with someone they could beat this year. I know that's terrible to say. They're playing the usual schools, like Shields, Excel, McIntosh, and Sweetwater, but there are some others in there that are new to me.
That's fun to have all the grades involved. Here they only have homecoming for high school.
