Newton Homecoming in 2006 allowed a return to normalcy as it has been a little over a year since Rita wreaked havoc on us! Compare this year's festivities to last year's. Which do you think is the better of the two?

The Homecoming game (www.EdTracy.com) was on Friday, October 13, 2006, and the parade and festivities on the square were Saturday, October 14.
