Led by Homer City Borough Police the caravan started at the Homer City Fire Hall. Emergency responders from Homer City, Coral-Graceton, and Aultman VFD’s participated in the route which processed through the Borough on South Main, Lincoln Street past Memorial Field (home of the football Wildcats), into Center Township past the school campus and down to the baseball complex and First Commonwealth Field. The Wildcats baseball team never played a game there this year.

The scoreboard was lit with the #66 At-Bat honoring the 66 seniors, 2019 and 2020, and 13 runs for the home team representing K-12 with 66 hits, and of course 0 errors. Despite the rain many residents came out to their porches and some braved the rain on the sidewalks along South Main Street. Both stadiums lights were on for 66 minutes starting at 8:20 PM, which is 2020 hours in military time.
