It's time to “float” down Main Street
September 13, 2022 at 7:54 p.m.
The feeling of fall is in the air, and with the crisp fall air comes Franklin County football. On Sept. 30, the Franklin County Wildcats will go head to head with the South Dearborn Knights for homecoming.
Now is the time to develop clever ideas for your homecoming parade float. The parade lineup will be at St. Michael's Catholic School and take a right on Main Street. After proceeding down Main Street, the procession will take a right on East 9th Street and finish by the town pool.
Guidelines for Parade Participants
The purpose of the 2022 Homecoming parade is to strictly celebrate the spirit of Franklin County exemplified within the high school. With this in mind, the following organizations/decorations will not be permitted in the 2022 Homecoming parade:
• Political parties and groups of any kind
• Political signs of any sort - ex: reelect, elect, "vote for," banners, signs, stickers, flags, etc.
• Signs supporting/discouraging a political policy - ex. Renewable Energy, Abortion, Gun Rights, etc.
Any violation of this rule will result in disqualification for future participation in the Homecoming parade.
The Franklin County High School Administration, along with the current FCHS Student Council Executive Board, reserves the right to decide on an entry to the annual Franklin County High School Homecoming parade.
If an entry does not follow the above guidelines, it will be contacted immediately and removed from the parade roster. If unsure whether or not your organization qualifies to present in the parade, please contact FCHS Office at 765-647-4101, Tanya Wirtz (Student Council Sponsor) at [email protected] or 765-309-2340 or Audrey Sacksteder (Student Council President).
These basic rules for all parade participants are based on preserving the authenticity of the event. All organizations who want to participate in the 2022 Homecoming parade should immediately contact the FCHS office, Tanya Wirtz (Student Council Sponsor), or Audrey Sacksteder (Student Council President) to reserve a spot in the lineup. If one of these contact points has not been reached, you will not be given a position in the Parade lineup.
