LOCK HAVEN, PA – The atmosphere was beyond festive in downtown Lock Haven Thursday night as the Keystone Central School District and Lock Haven University staged a collaborative Homecoming Parade on Main Street, followed by a pep rally at the university’s East Campus.

The parade featured a combined band with participants from the Central Mountain and LHU marching bands and Bucktail High School’s drum line. Participants came from the local university, five elementary schools, two middle schools and two high schools.
