Ram Pride Flows Through Downtown Dixon on Eve of Homecoming Game
Downtown Dixon was bursting with Ram Pride as DHS students displayed their Homecoming Floats at the former site of Pardi Market.
All throughout the message is clear: This is Ramtown and Homecoming is here!
On Thursday night, students brought their homecoming floats to the former Pardi Market site so that everyone could preview the fun in store for tonight's homecoming game. The Rams take on the West Campus Warriors at Finney Field.
The theme for this year's Homecoming Week is "At Your Service."
