50 FACES OF HARVEST HOMECOMING “I’ve been coming to Harvest Homecoming for at least 10 years. I love the food and all the live entertainment. It’s really fun.” NATE BYNUM Jeffersonville “This is my first time coming to Harvest Homecoming. I just moved here from Bloomington because I heard it was so good! I can’t wait to try the chicken and dumplings, everyone says they are the best!” MIKE PRICE Jeffersonville “I have been volunteering for 12 years with the festival and became a member six years ago. Now that we are a 501c3, we can give away more money and more scholarships, be able to help more students achieve their dreams of going to college, raise more money for the Crusade for Children – helping our community, that’s what we’re all about.” DREW JONES Harvest Homecoming President-Elect 2018-2019 “I’ve been coming to Harvest Homecoming most of my life, at least 20 years. I love the food. I get the gyros every year!” ZACH WOODARD New Albany “We try to schedule it through work so we can all come down here together – we’re like a little posse and we all just walk down and enjoy the atmosphere! And then we see people who we know, of course, and then we’re back in the evenings. Also, I think with New Albany, as it’s growing, Harvest Homecoming is just one of those things that brings people together – it really is a true homecoming.” DENEEN JORDAN Memphis 50 EXTOL • OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2017 “This will be my first year coming to Harvest Homecoming and I’m really looking forward to the parade!” MARGO MORGAN Jeffersonville
