and float says it all - |
Labor Day 2008 - Ontonagon |
One day after a devastating fire, moms,
dads, kids and pets march a slightly revised
parade route in downtown Ontonagon. The normal
Hank Thompson Kiddie Parade was rerouted
due the closing of the original route to
accommodate the County Prosecutor. |
|
There were several parade floats dedicated
to the firemen who just one day prior fought the
fire that seriously threatened the entire
downtown. |
|
above and below - not everyone was
excited by the festivities |

The marches gathered at Maple Manor. The
parade continued on to the firehouse, where
there was games and entertainment for the kids. |
