What, homecoming already?
Why?
Just because, my mother would have said, and we better get it in while we can! It’s crazy year 2020 and you never know what’s next!
“Compasses Pointed Towards Victory” is the theme of this year’s Montezuma homecoming, which runs from Monday, Aug. 31, through Friday, Sept. 4.
And, after last week’s terrific heat, this week’s weather is supposed to cooperate, with forecast highs in the mid-70s.
The only big change this year will be the traditional lip sync, which won’t be a live event. Groups are to video tape their performances and turn them in to be judged.
Here are the schedules and information about various events:
