🐯🐯 Two Great Tigers, One Sorry Kirksville…and One Stubborn🌼 Miss Daisy! 🚗

We had big plans for the Macon Homecoming Parade!🧡🏈🖤

Our volunteers were ready. Our protest-style signs declared, “Two Great Tigers, One Sorry Kirksville!” Two inflatable tigers 🐅were ready to roar for the Macon Tigers and Mizzou Tigers. 🐯📣 We had candy, Bourke Street Community Garden coloring pages, seed packets, and information about Macon County Extension programs—all ready to share with the crowd. 🍬🎨🌱

And then there was 🌼Miss Daisy, our beautiful gold 1931 Model A and the star of the show. 🚗✨

Just before the parade began, 🌼Miss Daisy decided she wasn’t going anywhere.🤨

We tried. We tried again. And then we tried some more. We kept thinking we’d get her started and join the end of the parade—but before we knew it, the crowd was dispersing. We had missed our chance. 😔

🌼Miss Daisy may be stubborn, but so are we! 💪

Later that evening, she finally started! 🎉 We took her for a spin and then headed to the BIG GAME🏈. The the Macon Tigers finished the night with an outstanding homecoming victory over the Kirksville Tigers! 🏈🐯🏆

So our parade plans didn’t work out, but the night still ended on a winning note. Two great Tigers, one sorry Kirksville—and one stubborn 🌼Miss Daisy who finally decided to cooperate! 🐯🐯🚗

Since we missed the parade, we still have PLENTY of goodies to share! MARK YOUR CALENDARS & come see us at the Bourke Street Community Garden in downtown Macon on Saturday, October 31, from 9 a.m. to noon for our final farmers market of the 2026 season! 🍂🌻

Wear your best costume and stop by for candy, garden coloring pages, seed packets, and more. 🍬🖍️🌱 We’ll hold a costume contest at 10 a.m. for kids ages 17 and younger, with great prizes for the winners! 🎃👻🏅

These pictures show the parade participants—and one temperamental Model A—you didn’t get to see along the route Friday afternoon. 📸

Congratulations to the Macon Tigers on an outstanding homecoming victory! 🐯🏈🏆 The parade may have passed us by, but 🌼Miss Daisy eventually hit the road, our Tigers brought home the win🏆and we still have plenty of goodies to share. We’d call that a pretty sweet ending!
Come celebrate with us at the Bourke Street Community Garden on Saturday, October 31st from 9am-Noon! 🚗🍬🎃
