Athens Homecoming Week Plans and Local Conditions
The Athens township assessor notes many claim they own little furniture yet show comfortable means. The Homecoming parade offers a $100 prize across three townships, with emphasis on organized participation. Fire protection improvements arrived as new hose is tested, while residents are urged to prepare for large crowds on Tuesday the 14th and welcome visitors Wednesday. Citizens are asked to decorate, tidy streets, and join the county picnic at the fair grounds, as music attendance wanes and efforts shift to community effort and display.
