COUNTY LIFE
Triennial events span all weekend in Nocona
Nocona High School will celebrate its triennial homecoming Sept. 13-15.
Festivities include a parade, Hall of Fame induction, street dance, homecoming royalty and football. Coordinated by the Nocona Ex-Students Association organizers are planning something of a “family reunion” for Nocona graduates.
For those interested in taking part in the parade at 4 p.m. on Sept. 14, the theme is “Movies made in Texas or has Texas in the title.” Gloria Foster, president, said a new large trophy will be presented to the best float created by a class based on that theme. This will be a perpetual trophy passed on to winning floats in future triennial homecomings.
Festivities begin on Sept. 13 with hospitality and visitation from 2-5 p.m. at Tales ‘N’ Trails Museum, 1522 E. U.S. Highway 82.
