Tri-Country Ca- terers helped to make the event possible. “I am glad there was this get-together before the game, but I was afraid OUR pool would be ruined. It wasn’t,” joked Shelley Lynch as she was talking to a friend. After the Luau, the parade made its rounds around the stadi- um. The floats in the parade were also judged. The Cross Country Team placed first, FBLA placed second and Senior Class placed third. Aside from the floats, the homecoming court finalist were a part of the parade. They were driven around the stadium in Ca- maros, Trans Ams and Firebirds. “The pre-game activities were well organized and everything went well,” commented senior Tim Hannon. During halftime, the Home- coming Court finalists were indi- vidually driven around the field and, with the help of ROTC, were formally announced along with their escort.

Country music livens up the Wagon Wheel A Celebration! by Steve Thomas A November festival that few know much about, The Florida Fall Festi- val. It was a six-day “country fair” and a flea market. The country music was the core of the festival. It ranged from local bands to nationally known artists such as Tom T. Hall and The Charlie Daniels Band. Throughout the event as many as ten to twelve bands performed on the three stages on the grounds of the Wagon Wheel Flea Market in Pinellas Park. The overall reaction to the fes- tival was great. “The festival was great, the music was my favorite, but I wish Hank Williams, Ala- bama, and Don Williams would have been there. I will definitely go again next year,” stated sopho- more Jackie Charles. The midway, provided by Pugh Shows of Ohio, consisted of roller coasters, games for prizes, and the traditional fair food. The flea market area was crowded with exhibits and booths selling everything from clothes and jewelry to furniture. “The festival was fantastic,” stat- ed Mr. Ford, who ran a booth for Suncoast Sound. The festival may become an annual event. “There was some- thing for everyone,” concluded Mr. Ford, f Background singers for Ronnie Milsnp hold nothing back during their perfor- mance. Despite the poor weather condi- tions, the performance continued and the audience grew. Sister to Dolly Parton, Stella Parton per- forms on a hot Saturday afternoon. Most of her songs were pop country music; she in- cluded some of Dolly’s hits. A pair of sunglasses thrown on the stage by a member of the audience changes the whole look of Sawyer Brown’s band and adds a little more humor to the event. 28 Fall Festival
