Weiser High School Homecoming week activities continue through Friday, culminating with the big game against conference rival Homedale at 7 p.m. at Roy Dickerson Memorial Field.
  Every day this week is a dress-up day for students at WHS. Monday was color wheel day. Tuesday was past versus future day and on Wednesday students dressed according to the theme “country club versus country bumpkin.” Thursday’s dress-up theme will be decade day.  
 Friday will be red and white day, when students, staff and everyone in Weiser is urged to show off the school colors and their Wolverine pride in everything from clothes to face paint. 
 Other traditional homecoming activities include tug-of-war contests between classes, school spirit competition with hall decorating by classes, a lip-synching contest and powderpuff football game.
 The homecoming parade on Friday will start earlier than in previous years because Friday is also the last day of the first quarter of school and students will have only a half day of school. The parade will be held in the morning beginning at 10 a.m. 
 The parade route will be the same as previous years. Pioneer Elementary School, Park Intermediate School and Weiser Middle School students will still have the opportunity to see the parade and then return to their buildings for lunch before being released from school. 
 At Weiser High School the coronation ceremony will be held before the parade at 8:45 a.m. in the high school auditorium. Students will be released afterward to prepare for the parade. Students not involved in the parade can catch a ride to the parade route and pep assembly at the Memorial Park from buses that will be dedicated to transport them to and from the high school. 
 The students who are part of homecoming court and will be voted on by the student body include Brody von Brethorst, Darrian Hoobery, Braden Bumgarner, Rhett Kunz, Paul Crawford, Sara Lundberg, Abbey Shirts, Sydney Cobb, Stella Beams and Sydnee Reyes.
 The homecoming king and queen and royalty will be announced at halftime of Friday night’s football game.
 The varsity Weiser football team has not played a game since meeting Fruitland on Sept. 28 on the Grizzlies’ field. Homedale brings an unbeaten record to town and is the No. 1 team in the SRV conference right now.
 Weiser was originally scheduled to play the Pirates for homecoming on Oct. 5. Homecoming activities had to be rescheduled to this week after Payette School District administrators canceled the  remainder of the varsity football season for the Pirates. 
 Weiser school district administrators found it impossible to schedule another team this late in the season.
