The Pirates will bring back some homecoming traditions to involve the entire community for the week preceding the homecoming game against Monticello Friday, Sept. 24 at 7:30 p.m.

A homecoming parade will be held Sunday, Sept. 19 at 4 p.m., starting at the old middle school and traveling up Highway 19 to United Bank. An alumni flag football game that is open to all graduates from 1978-88 is being organized by Ron Byrd. A community pep rally will be held Thursday following the 9th grade game and a bon fire will be held in front of the high school gym following the rally. Homecoming court will be held after Friday’s game and a homecoming dance will be held in the middle school gym for high school students only.

During the week, high school students can show their spirit with different dress up days including country attire day Monday, fake an injury day Tuesday, grandparents day Wednesday, blast from the past day when students will dress up with clothing from their favorite decade Thursday and Pirate pride day Friday.

I often wonder who plans these events and if they ever look at a calendar. Barnesville Buggy Days is the same weekend in Sept, every year; not to mention that only once every 4 years do the Manning brothers play each other and that game kicks off At 4:15 Sunday!!

You are confused, Buggy days is this weekend the 18th and 19th. The PC Homecoming game is the 24th and The Manning brothers play at 8:20pm eastern time this sunday the 19th.

Please no parade on the Sabbath, the day of the Lord my Saviour and Jesus Crist. If yous peoples would get it together and understand what Sunday is all about then you could be saved from the firey pits of Hell.
Join me for a free biscuit and brotherhood.

IN GOD WE TRUST

STINKING STUPID POLL CAT........ You are pathetic....

Well I just wanted to thank everyone for coming out and supporting the Parade!! What a great success it was---There were several reason the parade was today--first we couldnt have during the week due to all the kids have practice-, sch events, etc. We tried to have on a Sat but alot of the kids have ballgames that day--so we took a shot --and WOW what a turn out!! Thanks for all the entires and for all the people who helped make this happen!! Great new tradition--glad PC knows how to show some spirit!!!!

Even understanding why Sunday was chosen, wouldn't Friday afternoon prior to the parade have been a great way to "fire up" the crowd for the homecoming game?

Even understanding the reasons for a Sunday event, wouldn't it have been appropriate to lead people to the field with a homecoming parade on game day?

Well considering that some of the homecoming court consisted of cheerleaders and football players, friday before the game would not have worked so theres ya reason for that. Why can't people do something without somebody b****ing and complaining about it?! I mean really do people have nothing better to do with their time than to sit and bad mouth EVERYTHING that is reported in this paper?? All I have to say to these pathetic morons is...GET A LIFE.

It is a sad case when the Mr. Knowitall Polecat administrator JC continues to profit off IP#'s. Identify and sell. Most recent was this morning and my IP. Protect yourself. You cannot talk to JC because he is the only gifted person in the State of Georgia that can interpret the Bible but can't read a yardstick or a level. Oh, but he has 106,974 on his site.
Thank you and my name is;

The parade was great, the kids enjoyed it, the huge crowd enjoyed it. Thanks to whomever organized it, it's a tradition that's been sorely missed.
