Every year around homecoming I hear about the race, but never get around to signing up, Michele Clark said I was glad I made the time this year to run it. Not only was I impressed with the organization of the race, but with the scenery that encompassed the run. The annual Reservation Run was held prior to the game at 8 a.m. and began m the parking lot of the engineering school. Over a thousand people came out to run the 3.1 mile race that ended at the Reservation. The Mill Bakery and Eatery provided muffins to the participants and water and ice were given to the winded runners. The game started at 2 p.m. with an inspirational performance given by the Marching Chiefs. Senior football players and their parents were introduced from the field. The main event, the crowning of the Princess and Chief took place during half time. Sandi Leff and Abner Devallon Jr. were crowned the newest members of Florida State royalty. The game ended the weekend on a positive note with a victory over Middle Tennessee State. POW WOW was my favorite part of homecoming, Holly Timmons said, ' T had time to visit with friends and the skits were really funny. Uennis Miller entertains students at Pow Wow.
