Aren't small towns great?

This week has been Homecoming. The kids have had fun dressing up for pajama day, color day (where each class had a competition for who would have the most of one color on), camouflage day, Hawaiian day & of course today was Purple & White day.

Purple & White??? We have NO purple! We have orange & black. It's amazing how much orange & black we accumulated in our years in Imperial. So, the kids wouldn't have won any purple & white competitions today. Kamrie had some purple, but only because she is a girl. We've got to start buying Minden Whippets apparel in purple...

What is a Whippet you say??



This afternoon they had the homecoming parade around the town square & it was so cool! Small towns are great for stuff like that. Hunter walked with the Drug Free Team from the Middle School. There were so many people lined up to watch the parade all around the town square. Then they crowned the Homecoming Royalty on the Minden Opera House balcony. It was a lot of fun. Emiley, I thought you'd appreciate the picture of the High School Marching Band. They were pretty good!
