Everybody Loves A Parade…
by John Weckerle
…Except maybe those who don’t go to them.
The Town of Edgewood kicked off its 10th birthday celebration with its second major annual parade. Coordinated with the Edgewood Chamber of Commerce, the parade was a huge success. Participants marched along Route 66 from the Mail and Copy location eastward to the Red Arrow campground, waving and tossing goodies to the kids (some of them pretty big) in the crowd along the sidwalks. Local dignitaries and state officials were joined by the Pinto Pride Marching band; equestrian and cowboy shooting groups; law enforcement and rescue organizations; miniature horses; donkeys; tractors; trucks; floats; a variety of costumed characters; clowns; and “wild animals” representing Wildlife West Nature Park. For those who missed the parade, or who would like to see highlights to remind them of the fun they had, we’ve prepared a short photo slide show.
