HHS Homecoming activities announced

The Harrisburg High School Student Council has announced the schedule of activities for the 2014 Homecoming Weekend.

The following events have been coordinated to accommodate the annual festivities.

Thursday, Sept. 25

The Student Council would like to invite everyone to the Homecoming Parade to begin at 3 p.m. The theme for this year is "Be Our Guest" We encourage the community to design parade entries around Disney inspired decorations. The parade will begin at East Side School and end at West Side School.

Anyone interested in entering the parade must contact Student Council advisor Krystal Wilson at the high school by email (krystalwilson@harrisburg3.org) or phone 253-7637 (ext. 2127) before Friday, Sept. 19. Float information may be left with a high school secretary if the others aren't available.

Organizers need the organization's name, contact person, address, phone number and email address.

The school asks for no political entries and no bicyclists. Those who ride horses are asked not to ride up and down the parade route prior to the beginning of the parade.

In the interest of safety and in accordance with City of Harrisburg policy, no items of any kind may be thrown from parade vehicles. Those wishing to give items from a parade vehicle should have someone walk along the vehicle and hand the items out to observers.

At halftime of the football game, the 2013 Homecoming Queen will be announced.

Saturday, Sept. 27

The homecoming dance will be held at the Harrisburg High School from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. The Coronation will begin at 8:30 p.m. The public is welcome to attend the coronation.
