November 20, 2011

Mother GooseThe 65th Annual Mother Goose Parade is always the Sunday before Thanksgiving. This year it starts at 10:00 a.m. on November 20, 2011.

Expect over 100 entries featuring bands, clowns, equestrians, floats, giant balloons, and even Santa Claus. All for the children.

The parade begins at Magnolia and Main, heads down Main Street to N. Second Street where it turns nort and ends at Madison. To see the route, and the streets that will be blocked off, see Parade Route.

Jim - That certainly sounds like fun for the kiddos and adults alike. I had no idea that the Mother Goose Parade is the largest children's parade west of the Mississippi. That must be some event.
