Class of 76 Float Challenge
By Christopher Miller
FARWELL – Calling all Renovo High School and Bucktail Area High School class alumni: the Bucktail Class of ’76 is challenging you to create and register a float for this year’s Flaming Foliage Festival.
Entering its 75th anniversary this year, the PA State Flaming Foliage Festival is always on the lookout for floats, bands, trucks, and antique vehicles for the parade on October 12. It was members of the Bucktail Class of ’76, Mary George Rhone and others, who put out a challenge on social media to other graduating classes to come together, design, and register floats for this year’s parade.
“We want to get the other classes involved to register floats,” Mary said. “We want to see a variety of floats and ideas from alumni classes of Renovo High and Bucktail so the Class of ’76 Challenge was born.”
While not a competition, the Class of ’76 is reaching out to alumni groups to help create more of a fun variety of floats for this year’s parade.
“We put in a float every year, so let’s see some other classes, too,” she said.
To register a float for this year’s parade, please go to https://pastateflamingfoliagefestival.org/festival-information/parade-information/ to download the Parade Float Form and submit it by mid-September to:
