New Athens Homecoming Parade

Once again, we invited people to join us on our yearly float for the New Athens Homecoming Parade. This is probably the biggest event every year here. They also had rides, food, games, and all the normal carnival/fair stuff available at the Community Center site in the middle of New Athens.

It was very hot again this year. The news said 100 degrees, and I believe it! The Chris Talley Trio sat in the back of the truck with the mic and PA system, and everyone played and sang "I'll Fly Away," "I Saw the Light," and "Rocky Top" for the parade route this year. We tossed out candy, Bluegrass Shack dog tags, cowboy boot cooly-cups, musical note pencils and lanyards. What a blast!! Here are some photos:
