Homecoming 2019: 4's and 9's back in Blackwell

Homecoming weekend will begin Friday September 27 with the alumni coffee in the BHS Study Center at 10 a.m followed by the Blackwell School Foundation Luncehon being held at the Kay Room on West Doolin from 11 a.m – 1 p.m.

At 1:30 p.m. The Homecoming Assembly will be held at the BHS Auditorium and at 4 p.m Main Street will be host to the annal Homecoming Parade with lineup being held at the Co-Op.

Following the parade at 6:30 p.m the Coronation for Football Royalty will take place at the Blackwell High School field with kickoff against Kingfisher taking place at 7 p.m. Saturday night will feature the first annual new event, the Homecoming Downtown Block party.
