We have BIG NEWS! As most of you know, we work with the school each year to plan September Days for Homecoming weekend. We see the weekend as a wonderful opportunity for reunions and celebrations, whether you're traveling long distance or from down the block. This year, the school's Homecoming game will be on October 4, leading to "September Days" landing in October for the second time in 3 years. After much discussion, the September Days committee has decided to rebrand our fall festival "Harvest Homecoming Fest". We're already hard at work planning this year's activities. The only thing that's changing is the name! So, mark your calendars and start planning to attend! Follow the Optimist Club of Lockwood on facebook to keep up with future Harvest Homecoming Fest announcements.
