Kiddie Parade Marches On!

above - Kiddie Parade marchers 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.

Float sign reads - Daddy, One day I may marry Prince Charming
but you will always be my King

No parade is complete without kids and dogs especially this parade!

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