What’s your favorite Homecoming memory? Share it in the comments! 📸

The Hampton-Dumont-CAL High School Homecoming Tailgate is happening today from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the high school back parking lot.

The tailgate will feature fundraising booths from class fundraisers, fine arts, HDEA and other groups. A community meal will be available for three tickets, while an inflatable obstacle course will be available for five tickets. Tickets cost $1 each.

As Homecoming week gets underway, we want to hear from the community: What Homecoming memory do you still remember years later?
