Fall Football, Day 1: Rush City Homecoming

It is a glorious weekend in Minnesota. The fall weather is beautiful, the leaves are changing color (they do that up here in the North), and there’s plenty of football being played. Karl and I are taking advantage of all of the football this weekend with three straight days of pigskin fun. (Laura is having fun finding new ways to avoid seeing one instant of football…)

Up first was the big homecoming game between the Rush City Tigers and the Crosby-Ironton Rangers. My mom was there to document the parade. Laura made a sign and had her face painted to walk with her class down the parade route.


The sign has a catchy slogan: “Bengal or Siberian?”


My dad joined Karl and me at the game while Laura invited Oma over to avoid some football. It was a gorgeous, crisp evening for a game.



The Tigers are having a rebuilding decade (until the class of ’22 starts playing…), so we weren’t surprised that they lost 28-20. But we still had a good time.
