Videoville’s legacy lives on.

My home away from home for 13 years may be no more (psst … not too late for someone to bring it back and start paying me to watch movies again), but its alumni are still making news.

When Coupeville High School announced its 2017 Homecoming royalty Friday, two of the honorees had a connection back to video store life.

Senior princess Mckenzie Meyer is the granddaughter of my former bosses, Frank and Miriam Meyer.

And freshman princess Aria Bowen, though she might have forgotten about it at this point, used to hang out with me behind the video counter as a baby while mom Dea made drinks at Miriam’s Espresso.

The other royalty might not have that Videoville connection, but I guess we can mention their names here as well…

Susan Rose has a hug for one of her two favorite daughters.

Is everyone around here hugging or what?

   The most successful sports team at Coupeville High School this fall hits the open road.

Some have crowns, but all are Coupeville royalty.

   Homecoming King Hunter Smith and Queen Payton Aparicio marinate in the moment.

And then a flex-off broke out.

Harris Sinclair wails away while waiting for the parade to start.

You don’t need to be a wizard to see the whole gang’s here.

Everyone loves a parade, even Mother Nature.

The morning rain evaporated and blue skies dawned Friday afternoon in time for Coupeville High School’s annual Homecoming Parade to go off without a hitch … or 1,001 umbrellas.

Thankful he didn’t need to keep wiping off his lens, wanderin’ photo man John Fisken worked the route, capturing the pics above for us.

Lazurus lives!

Climbing off his death bed, everyone’s favorite camera clicker, John Fisken, staggered down to Coupeville and ignored being sick long enough to snap a ton of pics at this afternoon’s CHS Homecoming parade.

Next time you see him (if we didn’t just put him in the hospital…), maybe buy the guy a Diet Coke to say thanks.

It was a quiet Friday, until a parade went and broke out.

Keeping alive the revived tradition of having a big, dramatic Homecoming parade wend its ways through town before the big game, Coupeville High School got festive in the sunshine.

Snapping away for those of us who weren’t there was rovin’ camera man John Fisken, who provides us with the pics above.

P.S. — Game time is 5:30 PM tonight at Mickey Clark Field. Beat Chimacum and the Wolves clinch a playoff berth.

Today’s the day.

Homecoming fever sweeps through Cow Town, plus there’s a playoff spot on the line.

Festivities hit the open road with a parade through town that kicks off at 2:40 PM.

Said parade goes down Terry Road, then winds itself along S. Main and N. Main before heading for the waterfront and back.

The football game — a battle between Coupeville (1-5) and Chimacum (0-6) — kicks off at Mickey Clark Field at 5:30.

Win and the Wolves clinch a playoff spot, while keeping their hopes of finishing as high as second in the 1A Olympic League alive.
