Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, September 29, 2015

Ohio Northern University celebrated homecoming last weekend. Here are three of our favorite homecoming parade photos. We hope you enjoy them also.

Phil Compton escorts ONU President and Mrs. Dan DiBiasio into his 1971 Cadillac convertible prior to the Ohio Northern University homecoming parade on Saturday morning.

Compton taught at the university from 1967 to 2002. Since retirement from ONU, he has served as pastor of Rhinehart United Methodist Church near Mt. Victory. His four-door Caddy was custom made for Nelson Rockefeller.

Everyone loves a parade, even Snickerdoodle, a 3-year-old labradoodle, owned by Harold and Susan Putt.

The sun had barely peeked above the horizon, but a long line of shoppers was already on hand to take home some bargains.

One man said he was there for the "good deals."

Another said he was carrying out golf clubs for $55 that would normally sell for $200 in a retail store.
