Friday filled with Homecoming activities

Bigfork Eagle

Bigfork High School is preparing to break out its Viking and Valkyrie spirit for Homecoming.

Starting Sept. 27, the high school has been celebrating Spirit Week through theme days, activities and sporting events.

Throughout Spirit Week, Bigfork students show off their school pride in various competitive dress-up days, said Charlie Ball, the student council advisor. Along with the brunt of Homecoming activities on Friday, Oct. 1, students will wear the blue and white of their wardrobes for the theme that day.

Also on Friday, students will divide up and participate in "cluster" activities during the day which will include a range of interests such as painting the football field, a trip to Strawberry Lake and working on parade floats, Ball said. The pep rally will be held at 1:15 p.m. Friday in the Bigfork High School gym, followed by the parade through the town at roughly 2 p.m.

"The student council really works hard," Ball said. "Class officers are preparing for their parade floats. It should be a lot of fun to just go watch. Come on out and support our students."

The football team will face off against Thompson Falls at 7 p.m.

Homecoming royalty will be announced at halftime of the football game and the king and queen will be crowned.

On Saturday will be the Homecoming dance, held from 9:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. in the Bigfork Middle School cafeteria.

EDITOR'S NOTE: It was incorrectly stated in the Sept. 30 print edition of the Bigfork Eagle that Glacier Bank would be hosting an annual customer appreciation night prior to the football game against Thompson Falls at 7 p.m. It will actualy be Flathead Bank's annual customer appreciation night. Flathead Bank is located on the corner of Montana Highway 35 and Grand Drive. The newspaper regrets the error.
