The parade’s theme is Patriot Tailgate Grill Grissom.

The parade will feature appearances from the entire homecoming court, eight members of the Bob Jones Hall of Fame who will also serve as Grand Marshals, all Madison City School principals, Mayor Paul Finley and Triana Mayor Mary Caudle, Sen. Bill Holtzclaw and members for the board of education.

The parade will be led by the Bob Jones band and Junior Air Force ROTC.

“Come and enjoy yourself. It’ll be a beautiful evening,” Lakso said.
