I love winning the lawn display competition during homecoming, we've won it both years I've been in school. It's amazing what we can build in less than week (noon Sunday-10am Friday). My freshman year we built a full size combine (for the theme "Tour the Big Red Tradition") and last year a full size fire engine (Theme: Big Red Alert), plus the detail work we've always done has made our float the best, I could go on and on about those displays.
It's just a blast to build these displays. There's always a ton of people out on the lawn, building, cutting and securing chicken wire, and pomping, plus good tunes and hot choclate. Freshmen have to guard the display overnight and I remember the good conversations I had my freshman year deep into the night while making sure no one tries to destroy our creation.
Homecoming is by far the best week of the entire school year.
