Wessington Springs Homecoming Week Festivities Continue

  • Homecoming king and queen candidates for Wessington Springs High School, Kerstynn Heim, Parker Graff, Logan Mohling, Tregen Jensen, Remie Roduner, Max Klein, Addyson Orth and Luke Larson stand in front of WSHS Monday morning after carrying out a longstanding tradition of whitewashing the streets by the schools and along Main Street on Sunday night. Just as the fresh coat of white stands the test of time throughout the fall season, so too does the tradition of Homecoming royalty in Wessington Springs.
