Mountain Home High School is wrapping up its first week of classes with its annual Bomberfest. The event, sponsored by First Security Bank, will begin Friday evening at five, and the night will end with high school football team taking the field for practice. Admission to Bomberfest will be a packaged food item for the Backpack Food 4 Kids program for all Mountain Home students.
Activities in Bomber Gymnasium start at 5:30 with a scrimmage by the seventh grade volleyball team, and the eighth graders and freshmen will follow.
Outside activities include music by the Nick Reed Band. Throughout the day, several teams will be taking part in the KTLO BBQ Cookoff Challenge. Bomberfest will also have an obstacle course challenge presented by Mountain Home Football, the National Guard Peddle Carts, Obstacle Course and Pugle Pit, a bouncy house courtesy of Ashley Havens State Farm, a Bomber Cookie/Bar contest with high school football parents, face tattoos by the Mountain Home High School cheerleaders and a dunking booth courtesy of the Bomber Belles.
The football portion of the night begins with the introduction of the seventh grade and junior high rosters at 7:30, and the high school team will then warmup and take to the field for its scrimmage. Not only are the Bombers under new leadership, but head coach Bryan Mattox says they’ll also be on new turf.
