IT'S HOMECOMING TIME -
BHS Homecoming is a few weeks away, and it's time to build those floats and get our candy bags ready because the BHS Homecoming Parade IS BACK!!! Let's see if we can outdo last year's 70+ entries and make our parade the best ever. This year's theme is "The Brookings Tea Party...Let's Spill the Tea."

The parade route starts at 6th St & 5th Avenue, goes south down 5th Avenue to Front Street, heads west down Front Street to Main Avenue, then goes north down Main Ave where it ends at 6th Street. Coaches, Advisors, Managers, Directors, Bosses, or Anyone leading a community group, get your entry ready and register. Go to the BSD Homepage and register. Entries are due on Friday, September 27.
