T-V Fall Homecoming
2016
Tri-Village Community & School Fair
“Following Our Dreams & Building On New Traditions”. This years’
theme has a special meaning as we begin a “New Tradition” by combining
our 1st annual Tri-Village Community & School Fair with Homecoming.
“Following Our Dreams” applies to many wonderful and exciting things
happening at Tri-Village and within our community. A long-lived dream
for many was the addition of football to the school schedule. Many in
the community have had visions and aspirations of someday cheering on a
Tri-Village football team. This year that dream became reality with a
varsity football team playing under the lights in a beautiful new
facility.
Clayton Murphy, a Tri-Village graduate, also recently saw dreams come
true as he participated in the 2016 Summer Olympics winning the Bronze
medal in the Men’s 800- meter race. The community could not be more
proud of this young man and all of his hard work in achieving his
dream. Tri-Village schools, New Madison and surrounding communities
will be celebrating his accomplishment on Sept. 30.
“See The Patriot Light, Feel The Patriot Heat” is the Homecoming theme
for this year. The week long festivities kick off on Tuesday, Oct. 4th
at 7:00 p.m. with a Clash of the Classes contest located at the
football field. Please bring 1 canned good per person for admission,
which will be donated to our local Boy Scout Troop. High School
students may vote for Homecoming King and Queen, as well as School Fair
King and Queen, throughout the evening.
A Powder Puff football game will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 5 at the
football field at 7:00 pm. Please bring 1 canned food item per person,
which will be donated to the foodbank at the Harrison Street Baptist
Church. High School students may vote for Homecoming King and Queen, as
well as School Fair King and Queen, throughout the evening. You do not
want to miss the Little Miss ~ Mister Patriot Contest to be held at
halftime of the Powder Puff game. Those interested, may pick up an
entry form at the New Madison Public Library or New Madison Mini Mart.
Applications were sent home with Tri-Village Pre-School children.
Eligible applicants include children ages 3 to 5 from the Tri-Village
Community or enrolled in the Tri-Village School system. All entries
must be postmarked by Friday, September 30, 2016, and should be mailed

Thursday evening will host a “lighted” Homecoming Parade which begins
at 7:00 p.m. The evening wraps up with a Bonfire and Pep Rally to be
held immediately following the parade near the girls’ softball diamond.
One of the most popular contests of the School Fair has been the
Pumpkin Decorating contest which shows off local talent with some fun
and amazing entries. And of course it would not be a School Fair
without a local Crop and Produce Contest to show off our local growers.
All of these items may be entered on Friday evening from 3-5 in the
Commons area as well as Saturday morning from 8:00-8:45.

and congratulate Dixie Robbins on being chosen as our 2016 Grand
