Southwest Minnesota State University

Mustang Homecoming Parade

Saturday, October 10, 2009

I snuck out of the Gala, and got to my car, there was a small layer of snow, how quaint!! I had to drive back to the hotel in a snow storm, No Problem! I have driven in snow before. YEA, RITE, frozen tundra snow is different, it doesn't go away overnight!!

I get out to my car and it is covered in snow!! YIKES! However, I was told to be ready for a 9:30am pick up because David Danahar had invited me to participate in the Homecoming Parade. NOW, that is WAY COOL!

I think they had a private meeting and decided that it would be best if I didn't drive!!!

SO, they enlisted this nice little Vette and it's owner Jerry to chauffer me in the parade!!

Thanks again to David and Cecelia Danahar for such a great honor to participate in the parade!!! It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip!

David got me a box of Mardi Gras beads and we were off!!

I got Jerry into the spirit of Mardi Gras, we threw beads out of both sides!!!

At the end of the parade I asked David if we could go back to the start and do it again.

No sense of humor!!

OK, now back to work, I have to serve several dishes in 4 hours!!

And YES, in the SNOW!!

NOW everyone's attentions turn to Football!,

Well First ya gotta have a Tailgate Party!
