Blackhawks get ready for homecoming parade-style

Seeley Lake started off the homecoming weekend in style with a parade requested by student athletes and assembled by the newly re-established Seeley Swan Blackhawk Booster Club.

Various official vehicles and floats with the football and volleyball team players drove down local roads for about 30 minutes to help get the town hyped for the football game later in the day on Oct. 4 and the volleyball game the day after.

The booster club also sold burgers at the football game. Jamie Wood-Hanson, treasurer of the booster club, said about $500 was made that will go into the booster club's funds to support the high school.

Wood-Hanson said community members provided trucks and trailers for the floats and helped with decorations. Cory's Valley Market supplied some of the goods sold at the football game. Despite the rain, wind and cold, Wood-Hanson said there was good turnout and praised the help from the community that went into making the homecoming events happen.

"We couldn't do what we do without the community support," Wood-Hanson said.
