McKenzie Homecoming is Friday

McKenzie High School celebrates Homecoming this week, culminating Friday night with the crowning of the Homecoming Queen and the home football game against Perry County.

Students and teachers have a full week of fun as each day has a dress-up theme: Minion Monday, Tuesday - PJ Day, Wednesday - Wear Pink, Thursday - Anything but a Backpack and Friday - Rebel Gear.

Friday, the entire community is invited to join in on the fun. A Homecoming parade begins downtown at 12:30 p.m. and continues past the middle and elementary schools, ending at Rebel Stadium.

Grand Marshals for the parade are John and Karen Camp.

The McKenzie High School Alumni Association hosts a tailgate for alumni at the stadium beginning at 4:30 p.m.

At 6:30 p.m., pregame festivities begin at Rebel Stadium with the crowning of the Homecoming Queen. Members of the court include Anna Weatherford, Lydia Pate, Allie Walker, Kortnee Brown and Reese Carroll.

Kickoff of the football game is 7 p.m.

Following the game, the City of McKenzie hosts a Block Party on Broadway from 9-11 p.m. with music, dancing and food trucks.

Several MHS classes hold reunions Saturday (see separate article).
