2019 Western Days Parade

The trucks, quads, floats, horses and motocross bikes were out in full force again for the 2019 Western Days parade June 1. Spectators were sprinkled along the streets throughout the downtown parade route and, of course, children went home delighted with the candy they collected! More photos in the June 7th  Press-Herald newspaper, including the winner of Best Service Club float and the 2019 Citizens of the Year.
