2009 Alliance High School graduate Megan Dimmitt has been crowned Chadron State College’s Homecoming Queen.

Dimmitt was crowned queen last night, just four days after winning the title of Miss Northwest during the Miss Chadron-Miss Northwest Scholarship Pageant and earning her third trip to the Miss Nebraska Pageant in North Platte next June.

Dimmit, who is also a Chadron State cheerleader, is studying criminal justice. She was nominated by the Criminal Justice Club.

Another senior from northwest Nebraska, Donald Hlava of Gordon, was crowned Homecoming King.

Hlava, a graduate of Gordon-Rushville High School, is pursuing a major in business administration. He was nominated by the College Republican’s Club.

Other Homecoming activities at Chadron State College include the homecoming parade Saturday at 9:30 a.m. Area firefighters, who have battled numerous catastrophic wildfires in the region this summer and into the fall, have been chosen to serve as the parade marshals.

The Eagle football team will host Western New Mexico Saturday afternoon at 1:30 at Elliott Field. Following the game, a groundbreaking ceremony for the multi-million dollar expansion and renovation of the Armstrong building will take place.
