I suppose last week was the K-State Homecoming Parade. It was a great turnout, both in participants in the parade and people on the sidewalks. I enjoyed riding in the old fire truck and then loved the game even more on Saturday, so that was good. This coming Friday, Fort Riley is celebrating the change of command ceremony from Major General Roane to Brigadier General Williams, so I plan on being in attendance and welcoming the new general.

9:01 – 13:11•SASusan E. Adamchak

Being able to participate in the parade is one of my favorite things. I was sitting in front with our driver, Kenny, and together we were trying to count how many food groups were accounted for by the children's costumes we saw. Bananas, an ear of corn, a carrot, chicken, I don't think we saw any cattle or beef. There was a miniature Patrick Mahomes complete with hair and headband. So it's a great community event to see people participating. Speaking of small children, I also had the opportunity yesterday to address the entire school population of Marlette Elementary School. A little bit loude
