It’s starting to feel like fall, and before we know it, it will be time for Mercer Island High School’s homecoming.

Show off your originality, romantic side and artistic flare this fall by entering the Reporter’s Homecoming Dance Contest.

MIHS students can enter to win gift certificates to the Islander Pub and Restaurant.

This year’s categories include:

• Best proposal: Did you scatter rose petals? Hire a plane? Draw a chalk picture in her driveway or put up a sign for all to see at a soccer game? All have been done successfully in the past — can you top that?

Send us the details and pictures and, of course, her reply.

• Best group theme: Did you all dress up with matching feather boas, all wear hard hats or utilikilts? Send a group photo.

• Best footwear: Guys — couldn’t bear to wear socks or leave those sandals behind? Girls — show us those fabulous heels you got on sale at Nordstrom or online.

Send us a picture of your feet in your footwear.

All entries are due by midnight, Oct. 22.

Visit our Facebook page and our Web site at www.mi-reporter.com for more details on how to submit, and to vote on the best that MIHS homecoming has to offer.
