Celebrate Homecoming near Ann Arbor this fall at our high schools and universities. For the students the big events are typically the football game and the homecoming dance. But, many of the schools offer activities for the public beyond just the game. There are parades, pep rallies, and of course the football games.
When my daughter started at Skyline, one of the things I loved about their homecoming parade is that it is open to all school groups, not just the sports. The parade will include all kinds of sports teams, the marching band, and school clubs.
