The Powder Puff football game is at 7 p.m. today. Here's a summary of the week's happenings for a Homecoming with a Hollywood theme.
Homecoming in Geneva isn't just the football game on Friday.
There are a week's worth of events started Sunday with window painting and end unofficially on Saturday with the Homecoming dance and a bunch of reunion parties.
There are two big reunion bashes planned. One's mine and one's my sister Tinya's. Hers is the big 5-0 reunion, which will include an array of activities including the big bash at the Mill Race Inn and a flamboyant entry in Friday's Homecoming parade. If you know of more reunion activities, please post them under events and announcements on Geneva Patch and shoot me an e-mail at rickn@patch.com.
