Community members in colorful fairy costumes cooperate in anticipation of the Hometown Homecoming parade.
The Hometown Homecoming parade was held on Thursday, October, 5th, and allowed various businesses and organizations to show off not only their creative talents but also their community pride. 40 floats took part this year, with organizations varying from clubs such as GAYL, and sports such as wrestling and football, to businesses like the Blue Ridge Bank. Parade floats revolved around the theme for homing; The Enchanted Garden. Having stretched from the Mineral Baptist church to Elizabeth Trice Walton Park, the floats tossed candy to parents, children, and onlookers alike.
