SEMO’s annual Homecoming Parade attracts family, friends, students and alumni for the celebration that kicks off tailgating and the homecoming football games. Local organizations, schools and churches come together to show off their floats and hand out candy. Greek Life presents their homecoming themed floats and the Man and Woman of the Year candidates are introduced to the crowd of Redhawk fans. Southeast Arrow’s Homecoming coverage is brought to you by First State Community Bank.
