I just got back from the Grant High School (Fox Lake, Illinois) Homecoming Parade on a very rainy, cold day. I watched the whole thing from my truck as I was parked close to the parade route. Two marching bands and most of te court was pulled along in huge cigarette boats. The Class of '79, celebrating their 35th reunion had a float as well. Their game will be at 1 p.m.
Round Lake also has their parade and game today.
These two schools are among the few around here who have their homecomings on Saturdays as they should be.
I didn't see any home games last night as all the local schools except these two were away. And, believe it or not, it was cold and rainy as have been pretty much all of the home games this season.
I won't be going to either as we are going to DeKalb again for another home NIU game. Only this one we get to go to the President's Reception and get tickets to the game in the seatback area at midfield. Sadly, the weather is just as bad in DeKalb so not sure how long we'll watch the game.
