It's Homecoming Week in Clinton and Police Chief Ben Lowers is reminding the Homecoming parade is this afternoon at 3 pm.

The Homecoming parade will take its traditional route from the downtown Clinton square, down Illini Drive, and to the junior high school and high school parking lots. 

Chief Lowers is asking those who will be passing out candy as part of the floats going down the street to pass out candy from those who will be on foot rather than throw it into the crowds from the floats. He says it's simply a safety request for the pedestrians.

The Chief is encouraging those attending the homecoming dance Saturday to have a good time and be safe at the same time.
