2021-22 Homecoming

Game On: Ranger 2021 Edition Homecoming

Northwestern Homecoming was celebrated on a sunny October 9 with the annual Ranger Run kicking off the day followed by the traditional parade featuring floats, bands, queen contestants and parade marshal Linda Tutwiler.

“Ranger Lunch on the Square” featuring tasty pulled pork sandwiches was provided by the Rowdy Rangers. A massed band performance of local high school musicians preceded the football game, with Rangers taking on the University of Arkansas at Monticello.

The Alumni Band was in full force directed by former Northwestern band director Mike Knedler. Announcement of Ranger Royalty as well as the winner of the Homecoming drawing took place at halftime.
