Geneva College started their 2021 Homecoming celebration with a parade through Beaver Falls on Saturday morning. The Golden Tornado Marching Band could be heard throughout downtown as student and other community based organizations followed them as the parade made its way from 12th street to the Geneva campus.  The parade wouldn’t have been complete without the Beaver County Radio fleet also making an appearance. Station Manager Mark Peterson, a Geneva graduate, led the fleet of station vehicles customized with signage from Signs Made Fast .

Once the parade wrapped up, Beaver County Radio’s Frank Sparks and Curtis Walsh maintained a position at the entrance of Reeves Field to give away prizes and conduct  interviews with many Geneva College representatives.  Throughout the afternoon,  Frank Sparks spoke with Geneva staff members Cheryl Johnston, Van Zanic, Dr. Anthony Comer, Dave Layton, Dr. Gordy Richards, President Dr. Calvin Troup, Judy Wilson, and Sarah Faulkner.  Students Mattie Burleigh, Julia Gallagher, Grant Dieter, and Manny Bravo were interviewed as well. Overall the day was a big success and Geneva College enjoyed a well deserved celebration. Photos from the day can be seen below:
