Fall Rains Don't Ruin First Fall Festival On November 2, 1986 the PTSA and Booster Club held Glenn's first Fall Festival. Along with 80 pounds of barbecue sponsored by the PTSA, the gymnasium was lined up with games similar to those you might see at a fair. One of the bigger attractions was the dunking booth which was set up outside of the gym. It's victims included Coach Stanley, Coach Kearns, and Don Atkins. The country store, which fea- tured everything from houseware to various art, was the biggest fund raiser. After the day's festivities had time for a very interesting en- counter with the pigskin. The Glenn High School Varsity Cheerleading Squad, coached by Frank Sink, played East For- syth's Varsity Cheerleaders. The rain-drenched field made for some very nasty but exciting ac- tion and brought in quite a crowd. Cheered on by some substitute cheerleaders, a team of male athletes, the girls played well but didn't come out ahead. As everyone left for home, all they would remember was that the day was a good one, with good food and lots of fun. The N. Pitchin' In!
