According to Amqui
Station, the first Hillbilly Day was 10 October
1953. "Ladies get out your calico dresses and men
get out your overalls because you're going to need
them on October the 10th (1953).”
It was a time when young and old would come out and
have a real good day. It was always the 2nd Saturday
of October. There was a parade every year with
several High School Bands, floats, clowns
participating; Fish Pond, Country Store and a
cakewalk (are we bringing back Memories yet?).
Gallatin Road was shut down. Guys would grow beads
and folks would dress-up like Hillbillies. The
Carnival was set-up down on Gallatin Road. MHS would
elect The Hillbilly Queen and The Attendants. More
later... |

For those of you who
have not seen the Madison High School building in
the last 5 years, it has changed.
The building underwent a 10 million dollar renovation
during 2009. The Girls Gym is now the Band
Room/Chorus Room (was the Art Room). A new Entrance
was constructed on the back of the building and new
bleachers were added in the Boys Gym among many
other changes.
Another 12 classrooms are currently being added to the
end of the West Wing. The pictures show before and
after. Hope ya'll enjoy them.
