Monmouth College Homecoming Weekend




Homecoming at Monmouth College has often meant in recent years a visit from our daughter and the grandchildren. This year was no exception and a lovely visit it was.






On Friday night the Buchanan Center Trivia Team tried once more to win the gold at United Way Trivia Contest. The good news is we dropped from 2nd place last year to 3rd place this year. We owe this to a concerted effort in the last 365 days to rid our minds of irrelevent information. We look forward to continuing this trend into the coming year and continue to commit ourselves to a philosophy that claims that "You define the terms of your own success!"






Saturday was for parades and football. The parade was fine and the people as always were the stars of the show.


"I never met a fireplug I didn't like."


As for the football. This pickup game on the lawn during the parade produced better results than the one that began at 1:30.


The Foresters unfortunately cut us down to size. Along with the Cubs we shall wait for next year!


Happy Fall from all the folks in Monmouth, IL
